NASA says we have been to the moon six instances. Kim Kardashian says the primary time was faked. On a latest episode of The Kardashians, the reality-show star was chatting with actress Sarah Paulson about astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to stroll on the moon. That is when Kardashian revealed she would not imagine the 1969 moon touchdown is actual.

In an interview, Aldrin was requested concerning the scariest second of the Apollo 11 mission. Kardashian quotes his reply, “There was no scary second as a result of it did not occur. It may’ve been scary, nevertheless it wasn’t as a result of it did not occur.”
It is unclear which interview this was, or what precisely Aldrin was referring to, though it looks as if he is saying a sure horrifying second did not come to move. However Kardashian took the quote to imply all the moon touchdown was a hoax that Aldrin selected to disclose through that one quote.
“So I believe (the moon touchdown) did not occur,” she stated.
NASA appearing administrator (and former participant on reality show The Real World) Sean Duffy took exception to the sentiment, replying on X “Sure, Kim Kardashian, we have been to the moon earlier than…6 instances!”
Sure, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon earlier than… 6 instances!
And even higher: @NASAArtemis goes again below the management of @POTUS.

The US did actually land on the moon on July 20, 1969, with Aldrin and fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong each strolling on the lunar floor. Armstrong died in 2012. Aldrin is now 95.
In 2002, Aldrin, then 72, punched a conspiracy theorist who tried to get him to swear the moon landings was faked.
“We gained the final area race and we are going to win this one too!” Duffy informed Kardashian on X. He later invited her to an upcoming launch at Kennedy Area Heart, although she didn’t instantly settle for.
Kardashian didn’t reply to a request for remark.
