Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Congress's resident moron, 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.

This is a senior member of Congress. Houston sure is being well represented,
isn't it? It's a wonder this woman's brain even has the power to keep her
breathing.

 
I don't know where she would even have gotten the idea that the moon
is made mostly of gases. Maybe it's mostly helium which is why it
keeps floating above the Earth like a kid's balloon.
 

Keep in mind that this Mensa genius is also famous for asking the NASA
director why he didn't land the Mars rover closer to where the astronauts
landed in the 60s so we could see the relics of the original space program.
 
She also notably claimed that "The United States has been operating under the
Constitution for the last 400 years."

 
She at least got it sort of close.

If you think missing it by over 150 years is sort of close.
