Overview
- Kim Kardashian said in a newly aired episode of The Kardashians that the 1969 Moon landing was fake and pressed Sarah Paulson with links and clips to make her case.
- She cited online videos and an alleged Buzz Aldrin remark, repeated long-debunked points about the flag and footprints, and told skeptics to check TikTok.
- Acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy responded on X, writing "Yes, we were on the Moon… six times!" and invited Kardashian to the next Artemis-related launch at Kennedy Space Center.
- Reuters and other fact-checkers report that viral clips misrepresent Aldrin’s comments, noting he has consistently defended Apollo 11 and was referring to televised animations.
- Scientists point to extensive evidence confirming the landings, including hundreds of kilograms of verified lunar rocks, laser retroreflectors still in use, telemetry, and independent observations.
