Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York sent shockwaves through the scientific community today when she expressed confusion over the difference between Earth and moon.

At a press conference, Ocasio-Cortez gestured to the sky and asked, “So, like, is the moon just, like, part of the Earth? Like, how does that work?” Startled reporters offered a few unsure explanations, with one bravely attempting to explain the difference between Earth’s gravitational pull and the moon’s, only to be silenced by an incredulous Ocasio-Cortez. “Look, I just don’t get it. Are they the same thing?” she asked. When informed that they were, in fact, two completely different things in space, she shook her head and smiled. “Well, I think we can all agree that this is ridiculous,” she said.
