To me, a second chance implies another shot at the same thing that would otherwise be unobtainable. She's not getting another chance at the same NASA internship. She's getting a red carpet welcome into a completely different job outright courtesy of one of the most respected people of her field. It's a Cinderella story if Cinderella was a sailor-mouthed furry versus an actual victim of societal forces beyond her control. On top of that, her credentials are such that even if she were barred from the internship, she would be guaranteed a high paying job in something. And given that she pulled this stunt under an anonymous furry account, she's relatively safer than normal from look-ups.
I think that's part of what is contributing to my annoyance with the whole matter. Everyone is acting like her life would have been completely ruined had he not extended the offer to her. Again, good on homeboy for being nice, but I'm not particularly impressed given how harsh I know adult life to be to people who show their asses to important people.
Must be nice to be her.
