Nasa chief Sean Duffy confirms 1969 landing was indeed real after US celebrity on TV show says ‘I think it was fake’

Nasa has rejected comments made by Kim Kardashian about the 1969 moon landing and confirmed that it did, in fact, happen.

During Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians, the Skims founder questioned whether the space mission ever took place while noting her interest in conspiracy theories.

Hours after the episode was broadcast on Hulu, Nasa acting administrator Sean Duffy tagged Kardashian in a post on X with the clip of her talking about her doubts and wrote: “Yes, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times! And even better: [NASA Artemis] is going back under the leadership of [president Donald Trump]. We won the last space race and we will win this one too.”

In the scene on The Kardashians, Kardashian is talking to her co-star, Sarah Paulson, on the set of her upcoming TV series All’s Fair.
