Sheila Jackson Lee: The Moon Is 'Made Up Mostly of Gases'

While Democrats and leftist alarmists decry conservatives for supposedly peddling "misinformation" about "the Science™" related to climate, COVID, and genders (there are two, FYI), their own Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas is out and about telling constituents some real whoppers about the solar eclipse.
Speaking on Monday at an event she claims to have "created" at Booker T. Washington High School in her Houston-area district, she tried to provide some scientific explanation for the solar system's workings — but any students who listened are going to fail Astronomy 101.
"You have the energy of the moon at night," Jackson Lee tried explaining to attendees, seeming to misunderstand that the moon doesn't release energy at night, it is merely reflecting light from the sun.
"And sometimes you've heard the word 'full moon,'" she continued. "Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon," which the graduate of Yale explained is a "complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases."
Huh? The moon is, well, solid. That's why astronauts can...land on it. There is a notable lack of gases on the moon, hence the need for space suits for the Apollo astronauts to not immediately die outside of their lunar landers.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D):
The moon is "made up mostly of gases" so we can soon live inside it, unlike the sun which is "almost" too hot to go near.

You are confusing the moon and Mars. The astronauts landed on Mars. Neal Armstrong left a flag there.

But what if it were made of spare ribs? Would you eat it?

Like your butt, the moon is full of gas.
That's why showing someone your butt is called "mooning".

Believe it was McKinney from GA years ago that said we already had a manned mission to Mars.

As an aside, if the moon were made of spare ribs do you think Shelia would eat it?
Posted on 4/9/24 at 1:42 pm to Night Vision
Looking at her face alone tells you she has a sub 50 IQ
Posted on 4/9/24 at 1:45 pm to Night Vision
Well, Lee said something similar.

Those comments would make VP Dumbass, giggle.

If we flip Guam, can that propel a rocket to the moon to collect gas?
