NASA Refutes Kim Kardashian's Apollo 11 Moon Landing Hoax Claims

News summary

Kim Kardashian sparked controversy by publicly questioning the authenticity of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing, citing conspiracy theories during an episode of her reality TV show and misinterpreting astronaut Buzz Aldrin's comments. NASA's acting administrator, Sean Duffy, swiftly debunked these claims, affirming that humans have landed on the Moon six times and highlighting ongoing Artemis missions aimed at returning astronauts to the lunar surface. Scientists emphasize overwhelming evidence supporting the Moon landings, including lunar rocks, equipment left on the surface, and high-resolution images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing footprints and artifacts. Aldrin's remarks, taken out of context from a 2015 Oxford Union debate, have often been misused by conspiracy theorists to question the missions. Despite Kardashian's doubts and references to fringe theories like the 3I Atlas comet, NASA and experts reaffirm the historic and scientific validity of the Apollo missions. This episode has reignited public discussion but remains firmly countered by established facts and ongoing space exploration efforts under President Donald Trump's administration.
