Nasa debunked reality star Kim Kardashian’s allegation that the 1969 moon landing didn’t happen and said that they have “been to the Moon for 6 times.”Nasa acting administrator Sean Duffy took to X and said, “Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times! And even better: @NASAArtemis is going back under the leadership of @POTUS.” During Thursday night’s episode of The Kardashians, the reality star is shown on the set of her upcoming All’s Fair drama series attempting to convince her co-star, Sarah Paulson, that the space journey was not real. “I’m sending you a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and the other one,” Kardashian says to Paulson while they are receiving touch-ups, as per the Variety. She reads from an article that reportedly features a person asking Buzz Aldrin, the NASA astronaut who landed on the Moon during the Apollo 11 space mission, what the scariest moment of the expedition was. While reading, she doubts his answer, claiming Aldrin has “gotten old and now he likes slurs,” before reiterating that she does not believe it happened. “I center conspiracies all the time,” she said in a later confessional. When a producer asked for clarity about her theory, she responded, “I don’t think we did. I think it was fake. I’ve seen a few videos on Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews. Maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin.” In 2022 Reuters published a report addressing claims circling on social media that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was faked. The organisation denounced the speculations, writing, “social media users are sharing a video of astronaut Buzz Aldrin being interviewed by American television host Conan O’Brien and claiming that Aldrin discussing parts of the moon landing broadcasts being animated is proof that it was all faked.” Their fact-checking noted the astronaut was referring to “animations used by broadcasters at the time in their coverage of the moon landing, intercut with real footage. The moon landing did take place, and men did walk on the moon.”
