Duffy Pushes Back on Kim Kardashian: ‘We’ve Been to the Moon Before… 6 Times!’
- On October 31, 2025, NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy responded on X to Kim Kardashian, 45, who said the 1969 Moon landing was fake, writing `Yes, we've been to the moon before... 6 times!` and inviting her to Kennedy Space Center.
- During filming of her Hulu series, Kim Kardashian argued to Sarah Paulson that Buzz Aldrin's Apollo 11 mission did not happen, citing interviews and TikTok videos and telling producers she was 'sending... a million articles.'
- Scientists and experts explain the flag's wrinkles came from a horizontal rod and folds, stars were hidden by shutter speed, and the Institute of Physics says all faking claims are discredited with 400,000 NASA employees involved.
- The exchange evolved into a public spat when Sean Duffy, also U.S. Transportation Secretary, framed Artemis II's April 2026 mission politically, writing NASA returns under U.S. President Donald Trump with `We won the last space race and we will win this one too,`.
- With social media amplifying misinformation, experts warn artificial intelligence-generated content fuels conspiracy spread as about 10% of the U.S. public doubt Apollo, while NASA Artemis program plans Artemis II for April 2026 and Artemis III for 2027.
