Biden seems to have a problem with this word ‘million’. Wildfires can be ‘seen by Nasa a million miles out in space’? Really? That’s four times as far away as the Moon. Somehow, I don’t think so.
(… although if I were a US citizen, this minor flaw wouldn’t stop me voting for him — because of the insanity that is the alternative.)

The “million miles” bit comes from space.com’s story:

The satellite in question is the Deep Space Climate Observatory, which is in a solar orbit that maintains its position 930,000 miles from Earth.
