NASA Rebukes Kim Kardashian's Moon-Landing Denial After 'Kardashians' Episode

NASA's acting chief publicly refuted the claim, pointing to six lunar landings plus the Artemis program.

Overview

  • Thursday's Hulu episode showed Kim Kardashian asserting the 1969 Apollo 11 landing "didn't happen" and calling it fake.
  • On camera she urged co-star Sarah Paulson to investigate, citing TikTok content and clips of Buzz Aldrin as supposed evidence.
  • Fact-checks from Reuters and others note the Aldrin videos are taken out of context, explaining broadcasters used animations intercut with real footage in 1969.
  • NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy responded on X that the United States has been to the Moon six times and emphasized the Artemis return effort.
  • Coverage reviewed reports no retraction from Kardashian as her remarks continue to circulate widely on social platforms.
