Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Alive and Kicking, Debunks Moon Landing Conspiracy
1 Nov
Summary
- CBS anchors debate Kim Kardashian's claims about moon landing being fake
- Nate Burleson defends Kardashian's "curiosities" about the historic event
- Buzz Aldrin, part of 1969 Apollo mission, is confirmed to be alive
On November 1, 2025, CBS Mornings hosts a lively debate about Kim Kardashian's recent comments questioning the authenticity of the moon landing. Nate Burleson offers a defense, noting that while NASA has cited various reasons for not returning to the moon, the fact remains that humanity has not been back in decades.
Burleson's remarks prompt co-anchor Tony Dokoupil to make a gaffe, suggesting that Buzz Aldrin, one of the astronauts who walked on the moon in 1969, would emerge from the ground to "punch [Burleson] in the face" for doubting the historic event. Dokoupil quickly realizes his mistake and seeks confirmation that Aldrin is, in fact, still alive.
The anchors then engage in a thoughtful discussion about the space race and the motivations behind the moon landing, with Dokoupil emphasizing the technological and geopolitical significance of the achievement. Ultimately, the segment concludes with Dokoupil offering a sincere apology to Aldrin and suggesting that Kardashian should do the same, as NASA has confirmed the moon landing did indeed occur.
