In her latest episode of “The Kardashians,” reality TV star Kim Kardashian expressed skepticism about the 1969 moon landing, asserting that it was fabricated. The 45-year-old mother of four shared her views during a conversation with actress Sarah Paulson on the set of “All’s Fair,” citing statements from astronaut Buzz Aldrin as evidence.
Kardashian claimed Aldrin suggested the moon landing did not occur, referencing a clip where Aldrin allegedly stated, “There was no scary moment, cause it didn’t happen.” She also questioned inconsistencies in footage, such as the absence of stars, the appearance of the lunar flag, and discrepancies in footprints.
NASA responded to Kardashian’s remarks, emphasizing that humans have landed on the moon six times. Acting administrator Sean Duffy tweeted, “Yes, Kim Kardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before…6 times!” The agency reiterated its commitment to future lunar exploration under the Artemis program.
The article includes discussions of conspiracy theories surrounding the moon landing, including claims that Buzz Aldrin’s 2000 interview with Conan O’Brien suggested the footage was fake. However, fact-checkers and historical records confirm the landing occurred, noting that broadcasters at the time used animations to supplement coverage.
Kardashian’s comments have reignited debates about the moon landing, with supporters of the conspiracy theories pointing to perceived anomalies while NASA and experts maintain the event’s authenticity.
