Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Sun Is ‘Almost’ Impossible to Go Near, Moon ‘Made Up Mostly of Gases’Hannah Knudsen 9 Apr 2024
Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is under fire for remarks she made about the moon and sun on Monday, concluding that the former is “made up mostly of gases” and asserting that it is “almost” impossible to go near the sun.
“You’ve heard the word full moon. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases,” Jackson Lee claimed during a recent appearance at the Booker T. Washington High School in Houston.
“And that’s why the question is why or how could we, as humans, live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?” she asked students before switching gears to the sun.
“The sun is a mighty powerful heat,” she said, telling students it is “almost impossible to go near the sun.”
“The moon is more manageable. And you will see…in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon,” she said, offering other head-scratching facts ahead of the eclipse:
I don’t think we’ve been on the moon the last 50 years. So we will be landing on the moon. What you’ll see today will be the closest distance that the moon has ever been in the last 20 years, which means that’s why they will shut the light down because they will be close to the Earth.
Jackson Lee added that she would like to be the “first in line to know how to live and to be able to survive on the moon.”
