In a surprising twist, NASA has addressed Kim Kardashian's assertion that the Moon landing was faked during a recent episode of her reality show. Here's what went down!

Reality star Kim Kardashian sparked controversy by claiming that the historic 1969 Moon landing was not real. NASA quickly responded, reinforcing the reality of the Apollo missions and inviting her to learn more about their upcoming lunar explorations. Kardashian's comments, made on her show, mirror ongoing conspiracy theories that have persisted for decades. With social media amplifying these beliefs, NASA's strong retort aims to clarify the facts about space exploration.

US space agency NASA has rejected reality star Kim Kardashian's claim that the 1969 space mission to land the first man on the Moon was faked.

Yes, we've been to the Moon before... 6 times! NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy wrote on social media.

Kardashian made the comments on the latest episode of her long-running TV series The Kardashians, telling co-star Sarah Paulson she thought the Moon landing didn't happen.

Despite being consistently debunked, conspiracy theories about the Moon landing have persisted for over 50 years, especially with the rise of social media.

In the episode, Kardashian discussed an interview with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who was part of the Apollo 11 mission. She read a quote she attributed to Aldrin about a supposed scary moment of the mission, which she claimed he stated did not exist because the landing never happened.

Duffy tagged Kardashian in a post on X, countering her claims and promoting NASA's current moon exploration program, Artemis. He added, We won the last space race and we will win this one too. In response, Kardashian inquired about a newly discussed interstellar object, 3I/Atlas, seeking clarification on its status.

Duffy later invited Kardashian to the Kennedy Space Center for the Artemis mission launch, reinforcing the importance of factual discussions around space exploration.

For decades, scientists have disputed conspiracy theories claiming the Apollo 11 mission was a hoax, stating that every argument supporting this notion has been debunked.
