The question is whether that's ignorance or stupidity. Ignorance can be fixed, even if she should be able to do the research herself, having a doctorate and all. Stupid is forever.

Based on her past performance I would be inclined to lean towards ”stupid”:

Thank you to all of you for allowing us the immense privilege to be on this journey together. It's quite amazing. And as we go on this journey, thinking about the NASA mission to explore the unknown in air and space, to innovate for the benefit of humanity, and to inspire the world through discovery. And as you've gone along on this journey with us, hopefully we're doing just those things. And as we get close to the nearest point to the moon and farthest point from earth, as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth, and that's love. Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was 'to love God with all that you are.' And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is 'to love your neighbor as yourself.' And so as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth. And to all of you down there on Earth, and around Earth, we love you from the moon.
....I watched the Apollo 8 Genesis reading when I was 8 years old, and I've never forgotten it. Wish I'd have known this was coming, I'd have watched it too.

(SMH) Wait a minute - this is the 21st century, I can watch it.

You can also listen to the recording Jim Lovell made for them as they approached the far side of the moon. Interestingly, he references Apollo 8, but not 13, despite Artemis breaking the distance record set by Apollo 13.
A lot of great pictures are starting to come in. https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/#images
Can't wait until we land and get back something like Go Pro 360 Video.

Charlie Duke also made a recording - https://youtu.be/PODx4JFztZo?si=Lph1TbwseLfAkFOX

Apollo-17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt has been doing the rounds.

Yeah, the images and data should be spectacular with modern systems compared to what we could do in 1972.

Unfortunately it took us 54 years to get back out there, so the number of people who have been out there is down to 5 :(

155mph short of fastest humans have ever traveled based on the revised speed estimates.

Perfect reentry otherwise.

THIS is the 1980s we were promised :lol:

We will soon be back on the moon, we will likely make it to Mars in my lifetime, hell maybe we will actually see The Expanse for real...(not sure if that's a good thing or not...but will definitely be interesting.)

Awesome, until the belters acquire the proto-molecule anyway.

This picture of Integrity, The Moon and Earth to me nicely sums up the mission.

I don't know why, but that reminds me of shot from the UFO TV series.
