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.
