In phrases we by no means fairly anticipated to say, Kim Kardashian is now feuding with NASA.
The truth TV queen and Skims founder isn’t any stranger to a public spat, having had beef with the likes of Taylor Swift, Piers Morgan, and pop star Pink previously.
Nonetheless, her newest squabble isn’t one we predicted for 2025.
The American media character, 45, made her newest headlines this week by insisting that the 1969 moon touchdown was faux.
She tried to persuade her All’s Truthful co-star, Sarah Paulson, 50, to facet together with her and different conspiracy theorists as she argued that Buzz Aldrin, 95, and the late Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 mission didn’t occur.
But it surely seems NASA is eager to teach her, as Sean Duffy, 54, who can also be the United States Secretary of Transportation, took to X in response to her feedback, which she made within the October 30 episode of the Hulu actuality present, The Kardashians.
He wrote: ‘Sure, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon earlier than… 6 instances!
‘And even higher: @NASAArtemis goes again below the management of @POTUS [President of the United States, Donald Trump].
‘We received the final area race, and we are going to win this one too 🇺🇸. (sic)’
Apollo 11 was the primary moon touchdown, which came about in July 1969, with Armstrong and Aldrin.
This was adopted by Apollo 12 in November 1969, Apollo 14 in February 1971, Apollo 15 in July 1971, Apollo 16 in April 1972, and Apollo 17—the most recent crewed mission to the Moon, which came about in December 1972.
Based on NASA’s web site, the Artemis marketing campaign entails the exploration of the Moon for ‘scientific discovery, expertise development, and studying the right way to stay and work on one other world as we put together for human missions to Mars’.
After Secretary Duffy responded to Kim’s perception that the 1969 moon touchdown was a farce, the star replied in his publish’s feedback part.
She penned: ‘Wait…. what’s the tea on 3I Atlas?!?!!!!!!!????? (sic)’
3I/ATLAS is one in every of solely three interstellar comets seen by astronomers, and it was found on July 1, 2025. Not like different comets, it doesn’t orbit the Solar.
As for the the reason why Kim reckons the moon touchdown was false, she advised Sarah between takes of their TV drama that Aldrin says in interviews that it additionally ‘didn’t occur’.
Kim additional alleged that the astronaut’s previous age makes him blurt out feedback like that earlier than in the end ruling: ‘So I feel it didn’t occur.’
Later within the episode, a producer approached Kim’s trailer and requested the star to verify her perception that the astronauts didn’t stroll on the Moon.
Explaining how she was satisfied of the conspiracy concept, Kim added: ‘Why does Buzz Aldrin say it didn’t occur?
‘There’s no gravity on the moon—why is the flag blowing? The sneakers that they’ve within the museum that they wore on the moon [have] a distinct [foot]print than the images.
‘Why are there no stars?’
Certainly, they’re all questions which have lengthy been requested by these not satisfied by the moon touchdown, as many have accused the historic occasion of inconsistencies over time.
A whole lot of 1000’s of individuals have claimed that the expertise to ship people to the Moon merely didn’t exist at the moment, thereby making the journey not possible, whereas others have sought out oddities within the photographic proof.
Nonetheless, specialists have debunked such theories, too.
One of the vital common arguments is that talked about by Kim, of how the flag seems to flutter round, regardless of there being no wind on the Moon.
The explanations behind this have been defined by the flag being fixed to a rod in order that it didn’t cling down. The flag was creased as a result of it had been folded throughout storage, arguably creating the picture of motion in a nonetheless picture.
