Overview
- An Oct. 30 episode of The Kardashians shows Kim Kardashian telling a producer, “I don’t think we did; I think it was fake,” after discussing the Apollo 11 mission with co-star Sarah Paulson.
- Kardashian cited TikTok videos, misinterpreted Buzz Aldrin clips, a “blowing” flag, missing stars in photos, and footprint discrepancies to argue the landing was staged.
- Fact-checking reports explain that the Aldrin interview snippets circulating online are out of context and note established explanations for the flag, stars, and footprints.
- NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy responded on X that the United States has been to the Moon six times and referenced the Artemis program’s return plans.
- Clips of the exchange spread widely on social platforms, news outlets debunked the claims, and no on-camera retraction from Kardashian was reported.
