Overview
- In a newly aired scene from The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian says she believes the 1969 Moon landing was faked and tries to persuade colleague Sarah Paulson with links and clips.
- She attributes a denial of the landing to Buzz Aldrin, a claim reporters and fact-checkers say stems from out-of-context video and does not reflect Aldrin’s views.
- Acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy responded on X that the United States has been to the Moon six times, invited Kardashian to a Kennedy Space Center launch, and highlighted the Artemis program.
- The clip reprises familiar conspiracy talking points such as a moving flag, no visible stars, and supposed footprint discrepancies, all of which scientists have repeatedly explained.
- Coverage reiterates evidence confirming Apollo missions, including roughly 382 kilograms of lunar samples verified internationally, still-operational laser retroreflectors, extensive telemetry, and independent observations.
