• Nasa affirms moon landings, responding to Kim Kardashian's doubts.
• Kardashian claims the 1969 moon landing was faked during a TV show.

Nasa has firmly rebutted Kim Kardashian's recent claim that the 1969 moon landing was staged, emphasizing that they have successfully sent missions to the moon "6 times." Sean Duffy, Nasa's acting administrator, addressed Kardashian directly on social media, stating, "Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before... 6 times!" Duffy also highlighted Nasa's upcoming Artemis missions aimed at returning astronauts to the lunar surface, according to Indiatimes, BBC, and Reuters.

During an episode of her reality show, Kardashian expressed skepticism about the authenticity of the moon landing, citing a video where astronaut Buzz Aldrin allegedly stated that no "scary moment" occurred during the mission. She interpreted his remark, claiming, "It didn’t happen." This claim echoes a broader history of conspiracy theories that have circulated since the landing, highlighting how these notions gain traction, particularly on social media, according to BBC and Reuters.

Kardashian's statements prompted a swift response from Duffy, who remarked that her comments could mislead millions of viewers and reaffirmed that every argument claiming Nasa faked the moon landings has been conclusively discredited. The agency is not only preparing for new explorations with the Artemis program but also seeks to engage the public in these significant ventures, as noted by Indiatimes, BBC, and Reuters.

Kardashian later engaged with Duffy by asking about a different astronomical topic, indicating a potential openness to discussion. Nevertheless, the dialogue around the moon landing conspiracy continues to spark debate and highlight the dichotomy between celebrity influence and scientific fact, according to Indiatimes, BBC, and Reuters.
