US space agency NASA has rejected reality star Kim Kardashian’s claim that the 1969 space mission to land the first man on the Moon was faked.
“Yes, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!” Nasa acting administrator Sean Duffy wrote on social media.
Kardashian made the comments on the latest episode of her long-running TV series The Kardashians, telling co-star Sarah Paulson she thought the Moon landing “didn’t happen”.
Despite being consistently debunked, conspiracy theories as to whether humans actually reached the Moon have persisted for more than 50 years, particularly with the rise of social media.
In the episode, Kardashian can be seen showing Paulson an interview with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who along with Neil Armstrong took the first steps on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission.
“I’m sending you a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and the other one,” Kardashian says, before reading a quote allegedly from Aldrin responding to a question about the scariest moment of the expedition.
“There was no scary moment because it didn’t happen. It could’ve been scary, but it wasn’t because it didn’t happen,” she reads.
It is unclear which article Kardashian was reading from, or if the quotes were actually from Aldrin.
Moments later, the reality star is seen telling a producer “I centre conspiracies all the time”, adding that she believes the Moon landing was fake.
“I think it was fake. 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,” she says. BBC
