Kim's Moon Landing Conspiracy Ignites Viral Storm and NASA Rebuke

Kim Kardashian BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Kim Kardashian lit up headlines this past week after igniting a viral storm with her surprising claim on her family’s Hulu reality show The Kardashians that she doesn’t believe the 1969 moon landing really happened. In the episode that aired October 30, Kim is seen delving into conspiracy theories with her All’s Fair co-star Sarah Paulson. Citing numerous TikTok videos and edited Buzz Aldrin interviews, Kim tells Paulson point-blank that she thinks the entire Apollo moon landing was staged. She lists familiar points from online skeptics—the famous waving flag, mismatched footprints in museum shoes, and the absence of stars in lunar photos—and flatly says, “I don’t think we did. I think it was fake.” According to Fox News, Kim continued in her on-camera confessional, insisting she has seen Aldrin say more than once that the mission “didn’t happen,” although space experts quickly pointed out those videos misrepresent Aldrin’s words.

The comments had an immediate and explosive ripple effect on social media. The Economic Times reports that Kim’s remarks fueled a deluge of memes, disbelief, and heated debate, with many fans dismissing her as playfully provocative while others accused her of irresponsibly promoting misinformation. Some supporters argued that Kim was just having fun with rumors, but scientists and space agencies felt compelled to respond. NASA’s Acting Administrator Sean Duffy rebuffed her claims on X, formerly Twitter, stating with a direct tag to Kim, “Yes, Kim Kardashian, we've been to the Moon before—six times!” He reinforced the reality of the six Apollo lunar missions and reminded the public that NASA will soon return to the moon with Artemis missions.

Kim herself responded quickly in real time, riffing on moon-themed lingo and conspiracies as she bantered with Duffy on social media. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, she also joked about recruiting astronaut Buzz Aldrin for her sister Khloé’s podcast to further investigate what really happened, but as of now there is no sign such an interview has been arranged.

Outside the furor over her moon comments, there have been no reported launches of new SKIMS products, business deals, or official public appearances by Kim grabbing similar levels of coverage in the past few days. Her name has dominated news cycles almost exclusively through this single, sensational storyline. While much of the public conversation remains playful or incredulous, this episode holds potential long-term significance for Kim’s public biography as it cements her place in modern social media culture—at the turbulent intersection of celebrity, digital misinformation, and the viral power of reality television.
