Kim Kardashian Claims Moon Landing Was Fake, ‘It Didn’t Happen,’ Receives Response From Acting NASA Head

Kim Kardashian has ignited a huge storm on social media after claiming that the famous 1969 Apollo moon landing did not take place.

The 45-year-old entrepreneur further encouraged fans to go to TikTok and watch the “proof” themselves.

How Did Kim Kardashian Come Up With The Moon Landing Theory?

During the episode, Kim Kardashian was seen on the sets of her upcoming legal drama All’s Fair with co-star Sarah Paulson debating whether the moon landing actually took place. Kim also read a quote allegedly from Buzz Aldrin where he once admitted the mission “didn’t happen.” She

argued that 95-year-old Aldrin sometimes “slips up” in interviews because of his age and accidentally reveals the truth. “So, I think it didn’t happen,” Kim said confidently.

She further shared that she often sends Paulson numerous articles about moon landing-related conspiracies, including the ones suggesting that it was all staged by NASA on a film set. “I don’t think we did. I think it was fake,” Kim added.

When Kim was asked how she would respond to being called “crazy” for believing in conspiracies, she shrugged it off, saying, “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok, see for yourself.”
