WATCH OUT HANK!!!!!!

Sheila Jackson Lee is gunning for your title!!!!! And no, I don't expect congresscritters to be experts on everything. But you dont need to be an expert to know the moon is a solid body. I suspect she read some article that mentioned we could use lunar ice to break apart into the gasses we need.

OMG The moon is gas and the sun is ALMOST too hot to get near.

How does that brain keep her heart beating?

 

[Tech]

Well, you do have to talk at the level of your audience.

The moon is not only solid - but pretty much cool down to the core, unlike the earth.

And the SURFACE of the sun is 10,000 degrees - and that is where it is COLDEST. It's around 27 MILLION degrees at the core.

My KIDS know this, and one of them has an IQ of about 69. How stupid IS this lady?

To be fair, your kids probably didn't measure the temperature of the sun directly. They probably relied on someone to tell them how hot it is (maybe even you). So someone missed that day in class, or that entire grade, then it's possible they might never "know" what the moon is made of or how hot the sun is because it's not something most people can empirically measure/taste/touch. But that wouldn't make them stupid, just ignorant.

And I know more than one aeronautical engineer (objectively intelligent people) who would believe you were stupid for thinking the sun and moon are physical bodies at all.

There are people in this forum who think you would have to be stupid to take the C19 vaccine, though "objective science" sides on the side of it being the safe and smart thing to do.

Measuring intelligence based on "knowing" something that someone else told you isn't really all that useful. That's why that test you quoted (the IQ test) doesn't ask any questions like "how hot is the sun" or "is the moon made of cheese" or "which of these frequencies corresponds to red light and which to green", because that would be a test of knowledge not intelligence.

 

[BOP]

The moon is a sentient being, duh.

 

[WingsOfGold]

I guess the Apollo missions landed on solidified farts.Be honest, should the animals that elected this idiot and those just as stupid be voting? You know the animals that pull fire alarms, think an Island will tip over, road kill wigs and .........

 

[vraiblonde]

What does it say about her audience and the people who continue to vote for her when *she* is that uneducated and ignorant?

So, how hot is the sun? I wouldn't expect the average person to know that, or even the basics about why this thing operates. But basics such planet and moons being solid objects, given we have landed spaceships on them, that speaks to a profound willing ignorance that to me is linked with stupidity.

Oh, and there is this...

Before the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.[15] She is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus,[16][17] and a CBC whip.[12] She is known to be gaffe-prone and has a reputation for treating staffers poorly.[18][19][20] In the 117th Congress, Jackson Lee voted with President Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis.[21]

So wait… Not cheese?

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee earned a B.A. in Political Science from Yale University with honors, followed by a J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School. She is married to Dr. Elwyn Lee who is an Administrator at the University of Houston.

They say ignorance is bliss,, but from what I have seen of the lady she is anything but blissful, she is a nasty piece of work.
Now ignorance is excusable but staying profoundly ignorant of the most basic of scientific fact is almost unbelievable.
How can anyone believe the moon is gas, we landed on it. If the sun is 93 million miles form earth and it still warms us and causes her parties climate change how hot must it be.? Some ignorance is expected, but this woman has served 10 terms in Congress. Is on the Judicial committee.

Not so far, but since Musk hasn't landed a Boring Company machine yet, there's still hope.

Put it all in Swiss. Ive heard its the most stable cheese.

Someone told me the Swiss market was full of holes.

The interjection of one Calorie of energy into one gram of water?

Its like cars, adding lightness makes it better.......

It's skeletonized! Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket.....

This puts both the original, where she mentions the moon specifically three times and gas twice, and the "correction" where she says she was talking about the sun.

"Obviously, I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual, Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really matters," Lee wrote on X. "What can I say though, foolish thinkers lust for stupidity."

In a video on X that's been viewed nearly 600,000 times, Lee said "sometimes, you've heard the word full moon. Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity to just to come out and see a full moon — it's that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases." She went on to say "that's why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon — the gas is such that we could do that."
