If you’ve been online in the past day, you’ve probably seen clips from this week’s episode of The Kardashians in which Kim speculates that the 1969 Moon landing was fake.
On the set of her new Hulu drama, All’s Fair, Kim tells Sarah Paulson in between takes that she’ll be sending her some articles and interviews about the moon landing, saying: “I think it didn’t happen.”
Sarah, who was getting her makeup done at the time, didn’t look entirely convinced by Kim’s theory, but assured her co-star that she’d do her own “deep dive” into the topic another time.
Back in her trailer on the set, a producer probed Kim on the subject, prompting the Skims mogul to go into more detail about her beliefs. “I think it was fake,” she said. “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.”
“There’s no gravity on the Moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the Moon is a different print in the photos,” she continued. “Why are there no stars?”
In her confessional, the producer asked Kim what she’d say to people who’d call her “crazy” for questioning the Apollo 11 mission, to which she replied: “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But, like, go to TikTok, see for yourself.”
Of course, Kim certainly wouldn’t be the first person to raise questions about the Moon landing. However, she’s facing a bit of heat for her comments — particularly for suggesting that people should turn to TikTok for reliable facts.
And now, with Kim’s conspiracy theory going viral, NASA has entered the conversation…
On Oct. 30, NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy took to X to assure Kim that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did step foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969. “We’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!” he wrote.
In response, Duffy invited Kim to come to the Kennedy Space Center for the launch of the next Artemis mission heading to the Moon in April 2026. So, I guess that’s a happy ending to this story.
