In an interview, Aldrin was asked about the scariest moment of the Apollo 11 mission. Kardashian quotes him as saying, “There wasn’t a scary moment because it didn’t happen. It could have been scary, but it wasn’t scary because it didn’t happen.”

It’s not clear what interview was conducted, or what exactly Aldrin was referring to, though he seems to say that a particular eerie moment did not happen. But Kardashian took this quote to mean that the entire moon landing was a hoax that Aldrin chose to reveal via this quote.

“So I think (the moon landing) didn’t happen,” she said.

Acting Administrator of NASA (d A former participant in the reality show The Real World) Sean Duffy disputed this sentiment, replying to X “Yes, Kim Kardashian, we’ve been to the moon before… 6 times!”

In fact, the United States landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, with Aldrin and fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong walking on the moon’s surface. Armstrong died in 2012. Aldrin is now 95 years old.

In 2002, Aldrin, then 72, punched a conspiracy theorist who had tried to convince him to swear that the moon landing was a fake.

“We won the last space race and we’re going to win this one too!” Duffy told Kardashian on X. He later invited her to an upcoming launch at Kennedy Space Center, though she didn’t immediately accept.

Kardashian did not respond to a request for comment.
