The Egyptian space scientist at NASA, Dr. Essam Hajji, responded to the Egyptian media's abuse in a tweet on his personal page on Twitter.
A follower of Lahji wrote on Twitter, "Your Honor, you know that our media is telling you that you are a bed at NASA, forgive us, Doctor."
Thank you, my friend, I understand your kind message. I have many titles in our great media: “Mawarati are stones”, “planetary plumber”, “moon drivers”, “NASA bed” and others.
All of these are honorable jobs. As a person from a simple Egyptian family, I would not be wrong to describe them.
I would like to send you the official job title from the agency page.

Your Honor, you know that the media we have is telling you that you should be "a bed" in the "NASA" agency ..
Forgive us, Doctor 😓
