NASA Rebuts Kim Kardashian’s Moon-Landing Claim, Highlights Artemis

The agency’s acting chief answered on X with Apollo history as fact-checks identified her Buzz Aldrin ‘evidence’ as an edited, misleading compilation.

Overview

  • Kim Kardashian said on the latest episode of The Kardashians that she believes the 1969 Moon landing “didn’t happen.”
  • Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy replied on X, stating, “Yes, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!” in reference to the Apollo missions.
  • Reporters found the Aldrin clip Kardashian cited was stitched from separate 2015 appearances and cut in a way that misrepresented his comments.
  • Duffy used the exchange to promote NASA’s Artemis program and invited Kardashian to the Kennedy Space Center for a launch.
  • Kardashian later replied on X asking about “3I Atlas,” and on the show she repeated common online talking points about flags, footprints, and stars.
