Overview
- In a new Hulu episode, Kim Kardashian said she believes Apollo 11 was faked, pointing to an online clip of Buzz Aldrin.
- Acting NASA chief and U.S. transportation secretary Sean Duffy responded on X, stating the United States has landed on the Moon six times.
- Duffy said the nation will return in 2026 under President Trump, linking the rebuttal to current program goals.
- The Aldrin lines appear to be excerpted from a 2015 Oxford Union exchange about the mission’s scariest moment, which he framed as a hypothetical before discussing a technical issue.
- Requests for comment to NASA, Kardashian’s team, and Aldrin’s representatives had not been returned, and reporting notes Artemis 2 is planned as a 10-day lunar flyby with a landing targeted for 2027.
