Kim Kardashian managed to stir up a whole new kind of internet buzz this week — and this time it was about NASA and the moon landing. During Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians,” the reality TV star casually said she didn’t think the 1969 moon landing actually happened, adding that she has seen videos where astronaut Buzz Aldrin supposedly said it was fake. NASA did not keep silent — they replied to her, and it resulted in another tweet from the 45-year-old.
Kim Kardashian asks a space-related question after her moon-landing claim was debunked
Kim Kardashian’s comments on the 1969 moon landing moment went viral quickly, and within hours, NASA’s acting administrator, Sean Duffy, jumped into the conversation. Posting the clip on X (formerly Twitter), he tagged Kardashian and wrote, “Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… six times! And even better: @NASAArtemis is going back under the leadership of @POTUS. We won the last space race and we will win this one too.”
Kardashian didn’t seem to care about the fact that NASA was setting the record straight. Instead, she fired back with a different question, writing, “Wait…. what’s the tea on 3I Atlas?!?!!!!!!!?????,” referring to an interstellar comet making its way through the solar system.
Duffy played along and responded with a full explanation, calling it a “great question.” Assuring her followers that there were no aliens or dangers involved, he broke down the meaning of “3I/ATLAS,” calling it the third known interstellar comet, and even thanked Kardashian for her excitement about the Artemis mission. Before signing off, he invited her to see the next launch at Kennedy Space Center.
The exchange quickly turned into a trending topic online. Some fans joked about a “SKIMS x NASA” collab, while others admitted the moment actually made them curious about space. For all the chaos, one thing’s clear — leave it to Kim Kardashian to turn a decades-old conspiracy theory into a popular exchange with NASA.
