NASA Claps Back at Kim Kardashian's Moon Landing Doubts

In a recent social media post, NASA's acting administrator Sean Duffy addressed Kim Kardashian's skepticism about the 1969 moon landing. On a recent episode of her Hulu TV series "The Kardashians," the reality star had expressed doubts about the historic event, citing comments made by astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

Duffy was quick to set the record straight, stating unequivocally that "Yes, Kim Kardashian, we've been to the Moon before... 6 times!" He went on to note that the Artemis program, led by the current U.S. president, will see NASA returning to the moon. Duffy confidently declared, "We won the last space race and we will win this one too."

Kardashian's comments on the moon landing's legitimacy were made during a conversation with her co-star Sarah Paulson. The reality star read excerpts from an interview with Aldrin, in which he had discussed some animated elements used in the original broadcast. However, as a Reuters report clarified, Aldrin was referring to the animations used by broadcasters at the time, not to suggest the landing itself was faked.

Despite Kardashian's apparent skepticism, NASA remains steadfast in its commitment to space exploration. The agency's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon, is set to launch in the coming years, building on the legacy of the historic Apollo missions.
