NASA Rebuts Kim Kardashian’s Moon-Landing Doubts, Cites Six Apollo Missions

NASA turned the exchange into a public reminder of past Moon landings, highlighting its Artemis return plan.

Overview

  • On a newly aired episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian questioned the 1969 Apollo 11 landing and referenced alleged Buzz Aldrin remarks.
  • Hours later, interim administrator Sean Duffy replied on X, telling her, “Yes… we have been to the Moon — six times,” and directed attention to Apollo evidence.
  • He used the moment to spotlight the Artemis program and invited Kardashian to the next launch at Kennedy Space Center, which has not been scheduled.
  • Coverage notes the Buzz Aldrin quotes Kardashian cited are unclear or unverified, and a show producer pressed her to restate her belief on camera.
  • In a follow-up on X, Kardashian asked about comet 3I/ATLAS, and Duffy said it is an observed interstellar object that poses no threat to Earth.
