Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has bought into the conspiracy theory that the 1969 moon landing was fake.
The 45-year-old mom of four laid out her reasons during the most recent episode of her show, “The Kardashians,” which aired on Thursday.
“I’m sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and … the other one,” Kardashian told actress Sarah Paulson while on the set of the show “All’s Fair.”
“This girl says, ‘What was the scariest moment?’ And [Aldrin] goes, ‘There was no scary moment, cause it didn’t happen. It could’ve been scary, but it wasn’t, cause it didn’t happen.'”
Kardashian also shared her theory that Aldrin is accidentally revealing secrets because he’s “gotten old.”
“So I think it didn’t happen,” the reality star asserted.
Back in her trailer, a producer can be heard asking her more about the conversation, to which Kardashian repeated her previous statements.
“I don’t think we did,” she said of the moon landing. “I think it was fake.”
“I’ve seen a few videos [of] Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews,” Kardashian continued.

“Why does Buzz Aldrin say it didn’t happen? There’s no gravity on the moon … why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon [have] a different [foot]print than the photos. Why are there no stars?”
The producer predicts that Kardashian’s audience will call her crazy, to which the star replies, “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.”
Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first two people to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission. Third crew member Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit during the same mission.
One of the Aldrin quotes Kardashian was referencing came from out-of-context comments Aldrin made during a 2015 interview with a young child that have been repeatedly used by conspiracy theorists.
As for the “scary moment” comment, it came from an event when Aldrin said the scary moment never happened, not the moon landing itself.
The 95-year-old astronaut recently celebrated the 56th anniversary of the moon landing with a post on X.
“July 20, 1969. ‘Contact light, engine stop.’ The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon,” he posted in July. “A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.”
“An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work,” he went on.
“We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: ‘We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.’”
“I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind,” the post concluded.
