NASA responds to Kim Kardashian insisting moon landing ‘was fake’
NASA responded directly to Kim Kardashian by trying to promote conspiracy theories about the 1969 moon landing.
Acting administrator Sean Duffy addressed the 45-year-old reality star on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday amid viral comments made about the latest episode of “The Kardashians.”
“Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve already been to the Moon… 6 times! And even better: @NASAArtemis is going back under @POTUS,” Duffy tweeted. “We won the last space race and we will win this one too!” »

The SKIMS founder spent part of the reality series’ final episode trying to convince “All’s Fair” co-star Sarah Paulson that Apollo 11 crew members Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins didn’t land on the moon in July 1969.
Emmy winner Paulson, 50, assures Kardashian she’ll take a “massive deep dive.”
“I send him conspiracies all the time,” Kardashian says in a confessional. “They’ll say I’m crazy no matter what, but go to TikTok. See for yourself.”
“I think [the moon landing] was fake,” Kardashian later told a producer. “I saw a few videos about Buzz Aldrin, talking about how that didn’t happen. He says it all the time now in interviews.
Kardashian’s claim is not new, with similar conspiracy theories dating back at least to 1976, with Bill Kaysing’s self-published pamphlet, “We Never Went to the Moon.”
Six American crews landed on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972, with the late Armstrong making history as the first person to ever set foot on the Moon, followed by 95-year-old Aldrin.
