NASA rejects Kim Kardashian’s moon landing claim
(MENAFN) NASA has dismissed reality star Kim Kardashian’s suggestion that the 1969 Moon landing was faked.
"Yes, we've been to the Moon before... 6 times!" wrote acting administrator Sean Duffy on social media in response to Kardashian’s comments.
On a recent episode of The Kardashians, she told co-star Sarah Paulson she believed the Moon landing “didn’t happen.” During the show, Kardashian referred to an interview with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who, along with Neil Armstrong, first set foot on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission. She read a quote allegedly from Aldrin, saying, "There was no scary moment because it didn't happen. It could've been scary, but it wasn't because it didn't happen," and later told a producer, "I think it was fake. I've seen a few videos on Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn't happen."
Fact-checkers and previous reports have clarified that Aldrin never suggested the Moon landing was faked; his remarks have often been misinterpreted or taken out of context. Aldrin himself has not commented on Kardashian’s statements.
In response to the broadcast, Duffy tagged Kardashian on X and promoted NASA’s Artemis program, noting it is “going back under the leadership” of Donald Trump and adding, "We won the last space race and we will win this one too." Kardashian replied, asking about the interstellar object 3I/Atlas, believed to be the oldest comet observed. NASA later invited her to the Kennedy Space Center for the Artemis mission launch.
Conspiracy theories questioning the Apollo 11 mission have circulated for decades, but experts have repeatedly debunked them. According to the Institute of Physics, "Every single argument claiming that NASA faked the Moon landings has been discredited."
