NASA responds to Kim Kardashian claiming moon landing ‘was fake’

NASA responded directly to Kim Kardashian trying to promote conspiracy theories about the 1969 moon landing.

Acting Administrator Sean Duffy addressed the reality star, 45, on X, formerly Twitter, Thursday amid viral comments made on the latest episode of “The Kardashians.”

“Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times! And even better: @NASAArtemis is going back under the leadership of @POTUS,” tweeted Duffy. “We won the last space race and we will win this one too!”

The SKIMS founder spent a portion of the reality series’ latest episode trying to convince “All’s Fair” costar 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 that she will do a “massive deep dive.”

“I send her conspiracies all the time,” Kardashian says in a confessional. “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but go to TikTok. See for yourself.”

“I think [the moon landing] was fake,” Kardashian subsequently tells a producer. “I’ve seen a few videos on Buzz Aldrin, talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now in interviews.”

Kardashian’s contention isn’t a novel one, with similar conspiracy theories traced back at least as far as 1976, with Bill Kaysing’s self-published pamphlet, “We Never Went to the Moon.”

Six U.S. 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 Aldrin, 95.
