Kim Kardashian Endorses Moon Landing Conspiracy Theory on “The Kardashians”
During Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians” on Hulu, Kim Kardashian, 45, sparked controversy by suggesting that the 1969 moon landing was fake. On the show, she attempted to convince her “All’s Fair” co-star Sarah Paulson, 50, of her belief.
“I’m sending you, so far, a million interviews with both Buzz Aldrin and… the other one [Neil Armstrong],” Kardashian said to Paulson on the set of the new Ryan Murphy series.
Paulson responded, “Yes, do it.”
Kardashian then shared a perplexing quote she claimed was from Buzz Aldrin, 95: “This girl says, ‘What was the scariest moment?’ And [Aldrin] goes, ‘There was no scary moment, cause it didn’t happen. It could’ve been scary, but it wasn’t, cause it didn’t happen.’”
The SKIMS founder speculated that Aldrin “has gotten old” and might be slipping up about the moon landing. “So I think it didn’t happen,” Kardashian admitted.
Intrigued, Paulson told Kardashian she was going on a “massive deep dive” to investigate these claims.
Reiterating her stance during a confessional in her trailer, Kardashian said, “I don’t think we did. I think it was fake. I’ve seen a few videos [of] Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews.”
She even suggested involving her sister Khloe Kardashian by having Aldrin on her podcast. “Maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin,” she remarked while scrolling on her phone.
Kardashian continued voicing typical moon landing conspiracy questions: “Why does Buzz Aldrin say it didn’t happen? There’s no gravity on the moon, why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print than the photos. Why are there no stars?”
When a producer asked her what she would say to people calling her crazy for these theories, Kardashian replied, “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.”
The Post has reached out to Aldrin’s representatives for comment.
### The Truth Behind Aldrin’s Comments
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first two people to walk on the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission. The third crew member, Michael Collins, remained in lunar orbit aboard the command module and did not walk on the moon.
The comments from Aldrin that Kardashian referenced actually come from a 2015 interview and have been widely taken out of context, fueling conspiracy theories.
When asked about the “scariest moment” of the journey during an event, Aldrin simply replied that a scary moment “didn’t happen.” In another misinterpreted clip, a young girl asked Aldrin why no one has returned to the moon for so long, to which he responded, “Because we didn’t go there anymore.”
### Aldrin’s Recent Reflections
In July, Aldrin marked the 56th anniversary of the moon landing on social media with a heartfelt post.
He wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“July 20, 1969. ‘Contact light, engine stop.’ The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon. A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.”
He added, “An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.”
