Overview
- Acting administrator Sean Duffy posted on X, telling Kardashian, “Yes, we’ve been to the Moon… six times,” in a direct reply from his official account.
- Duffy highlighted NASA’s Artemis program in the same post and said, “We won the last space race and will win this one,” while noting no launch date is set.
- Kardashian voiced skepticism on The Kardashians, citing alleged Buzz Aldrin comments and familiar conspiracy tropes about the flag, boot prints, and missing stars.
- News reports note the Aldrin quotes she referenced are not clearly sourced, and scientists have repeatedly debunked moon-hoax claims, including explanations compiled by the Institute of Physics.
- After the exchange, Kardashian asked about object 3I/ATLAS, which Duffy described as the third interstellar comet observed and not a threat to Earth.
