NASA says we've been to the moon six times. Kim Kardashian says the first time was faked. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, the reality-show star was chatting with actress Sarah Paulson about astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon. That's when Kardashian revealed she doesn't believe the 1969 moon landing is real.
In an interview, Aldrin was asked about the scariest moment of the Apollo 11 mission. Kardashian quotes his reply, "There was no scary moment because it didn't happen. It could've been scary, but it wasn't because it didn't happen."
It's unclear which interview this was, or what exactly Aldrin was referring to, although it seems like he's saying a certain frightening moment didn't come to pass. But Kardashian took the quote to mean the entire moon landing was a hoax that Aldrin chose to reveal via that one quote.
NASA acting administrator (and former participant on reality show The Real World) Sean Duffy took exception to the sentiment, replying on X "Yes, Kim Kardashian, we've been to the moon before...6 times!"

Invited the no-talent, famous for being famous, example of ALL THAT IS FUCKING WRONG AND BROKEN IN SOCIETY, reality TV "star", to come watch a space launch at Kennedy Space Center.
Apparently, she accepted.
I am just surprised the guy who learned everything he knows about complex national transportation infrastructure from a couple of Uber rides, didn't bypass all the NASA Astronauts to offer her command of the spaceship.
My generation had Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn, Gus Grissom and Alan Shepherd. This generation has Kim Kardashian, Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk and the Hawk-Tuah Girl.
