NASA responded to Kim Kardashian's comments about the 1969 moon landing, reaffirming that the Apollo missions took place and that they are preparing to return to the Moon.

NASA responded on Thursday to Kim Kardashian's statements on the show The Kardashians, in which she suggested that the moon landing in 1969 was faked, citing conspiracy theories. NASA's acting administrator, Sean Duffy, emphasized on social media that the agency has been to the Moon six times and is preparing to return through the Artemis program.

Kardashian mentioned that her doubts were influenced by statements from astronaut Buzz Aldrin, but she acknowledged that they were taken out of context. Duffy clarified that there is no extraterrestrial threat related to interstellar comets, poking fun at conspiracy theories. Additionally, NASA is facing proposals for budget cuts but continues to prepare the Artemis II mission for 2026, which will send a crew around the Moon. Conspiracy theories about the moon landing being faked have been debunked, and lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo missions have been verified in laboratories around the world.
