Part used by her is under 30 seconds... law says you can use a sample under 30 seconds...

Grumble if they want, it is legal.

The difference here is that the clip is from NASA, paid for by taxpayers. I don't think the 30 second rule applies here. It's legal to use it regardless.

The rule applies when a group is sampling another group's copywrited lyrics or music.

Government announcements are public domain.
