Ah, no, not really. NASA doesn't discredit people, though some people employed by NASA find scientific evidence that Hoyle was wrong. But it doesn't matter who employed what mattered was the quality of the quality of their evidence.
Oh-- it also matters that Hoyle was wrong. He was wrong about a lot of things. Of course, he was right some things as well, which begs the question-- why hasn't someone tried to discredit those ideas? Like, Burbidge, Burbidge, Hoyle and Fowler-- the paper that they published figuring out how nuclear fusion works in stars? That paper is a landmark, and astronomers still refer to it today.
