Trump’s NASA Chief Hits Again at Kim Kardashian Over Pretend Moon Touchdown Conspiracy

A showdown between Kim Kardashian and a prime Trump administration official was not on my bingo card for 2025, and but! Kardashian and U.S. Transportation Secretary and appearing NASA chief Sean Duffy butted heads in a weird change over feedback made by the fact star relating to the 1969 Moon touchdown, which she seems to suppose was pretend.

Duffy took to social media platform X to debunk Kardashian, writing, “Sure, we’ve been to the Moon earlier than… 6 occasions!” Duffy additionally wrote that NASA goes again to the Moon beneath the management of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Maintaining with the conspiracies

On the most recent episode of long-running present The Kardashians, Kim tries to persuade her All’s Truthful‘s co-star Sarah Paulson that the Apollo Moon touchdown didn’t occur. “I’m sending you one million interviews with Buzz Aldrin and the opposite one,” Kardashian tells a perplexed-looking Paulson.

Kardashian cites an interview with astronaut Buzz Aldrin through which he responds to a query concerning the scariest second of the Apollo mission. “There was no scary second ’trigger it didn’t occur. It may have been scary, but it surely wasn’t, ’trigger it didn’t occur,” she quotes Aldrin as saying.

The influential media character later instructed a producer that she believes the Moon touchdown was pretend, referring to the American flag seen blowing on the lunar floor. Kardashian just isn’t alone in her view. About 10% of the U.S. population consider the 1969 Moon touchdown was pretend, with many questioning how the flag seems to be blowing within the pictures when there isn’t any wind on the Moon.

The actual story is that the U.S. flag was propped up by a horizontal rod on the prime, which the astronauts failed to drag all over, resulting in the wrinkled look that makes it appear as if it’s blowing within the wind.

That explains why Kardashian responded to Duffy’s submit on X by asking, “Wait…. what’s the tea on 3I Atlas?!?!!!!!!!?????” The comet is the third interstellar object to go by way of our photo voltaic system, prompting some conspiracy theorists to assert that it could be an alien spacecraft. It’s not.
