"As it turned out, it was due to the NASA hashtag her friends used that called the agency’s attention to it long after my comments were gone,” Hickam said in reference to Naomi’s friends who slammed him on Twitter following their exchange. As for why Hickam responded to Naomi’s tweets in the first place, he explained it was only to protect her future. "I’m a Vietnam vet and not at all offended by the F-word. However, when I saw NASA and the word used together, it occurred to me that this person might get in trouble if NASA saw it,” he said. "So I tweeted to her one word: ‘Language’ and intended to leave it at that.” RELATED: Middle School Teacher Suspended Because She’s Also a Pole Dancing Instructor: ‘It’s an Art for Me’ Since the incident, Hickam said he and Naomi H spoke privately about her future with NASA. "She reached out to me with an unnecessary apology which I heartily accepted and returned with my own,” Hickam wrote. "After talking to her, I am certain she deserves a position in the aerospace industry and I’m doing all I can to secure her one that will be better than she lost.” Hickam concluded, "I have also talked to the folks that had to do with her internship and made absolutely certain there will be no black mark on her record.” Hickam declined to comment further when contacted by PEOPLE. Naomi H’s changed her Twitter profile to private.
