She is indeed a badass.
But for the media, who did interviews with her via Starlink along the way, it was a "too easy" accomplishment.
The issue isn't about Kelsey breaking records, it is about how the media treats amazing people who become too accessible to them.
The drama of record-setting exploration like this ls being measured on the same scale as YouTubers thru-hiking after soliciting equipment sponsorships.
This is in a completely different category.

I used to work for one of the largest healthcare organizations in the US. Their medical record system had two fields for birthdate: "insurance birthdate" and "clinical birthdate."
The "insurance birthdate" was whatever you told your employer (and they passed along to the insurer).
The "clinical birthdate" was your actual birthdate.
