And that\u2019s why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that? The sun is a mighty powerful heat, but it\u2019s almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Lee claimed in an X post that she had been referring to the sun at the time, saying, \u201cObviously I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual, Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really matters.
