NASA Rebuts Kim Kardashian’s Moon-Landing Denial After Reality Show Comments

NASA’s acting administrator told her the United States has landed on the Moon six times, pointing to the Artemis return.

Overview

  • On the Oct. 30 episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian said she does not believe the 1969 Apollo 11 landing happened and urged viewers to “go to TikTok.”
  • She cited viral clips of Buzz Aldrin as supposed evidence while trying to persuade her All’s Fair co-star Sarah Paulson.
  • NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy responded on X, stating, “Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times,” and highlighting the agency’s Artemis plans.
  • Outlets cited established fact-checks showing the Aldrin videos were taken out of context, noting he was referring to broadcaster animations and not denying the landing.
  • Duffy engaged further by inviting Kardashian to visit Kennedy Space Center for an Artemis launch, as posts and clips of the exchange spread widely across social platforms.
