NASA has dismissed Kim Kardashian's recent claims that the historic moon landing was staged, reiterating their commitment to space exploration and the facts surrounding Apollo 11.

In a recent episode of her reality show, Kim Kardashian suggested that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was fake. NASA quickly rebutted these claims through their acting administrator Sean Duffy, who emphasized the agency's six successful moon missions and invited Kardashian to the Kennedy Space Center for upcoming moon exploration initiatives. Despite decades of evidence debunking moon landing conspiracy theories, public discourse continues to be influenced by celebrity statements.

US space agency NASA has rejected reality star Kim Kardashian's claim that the 1969 space mission to land the first man on the Moon was faked.

Yes, we've been to the Moon before... 6 times! NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy wrote on social media.

Kardashian made the comments on the latest episode of her long-running TV series The Kardashians, telling co-star Sarah Paulson she thought the Moon landing didn't happen.

Despite being consistently debunked, conspiracy theories regarding whether humans actually reached the Moon have persisted for over 50 years, particularly with the rise of social media.

In the episode, Kardashian showed Paulson an interview with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who along with Neil Armstrong, took the first steps on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission. I'm sending you a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and the other one, Kardashian says, reading a quote allegedly from Aldrin in which he suggests the mission was not real.

According to Sean Duffy, NASA aims to counter these claims through education and the agency's ongoing Artemis program, promoting upcoming lunar missions while inviting Kardashian to witness future launches.

For decades, scientists and experts have rebutted conspiracy theories claiming the Apollo 11 mission was a hoax, emphasizing that every argument claiming NASA faked the Moon landings has been discredited.
