Kim Kardashian has just declared the moon landings a Hollywood fabrication on national television.
News.com.au reported that in a recent episode of "The Kardashians," aired Thursday, the reality star sparked a firestorm by claiming humans never set foot on the lunar surface, prompting a swift rebuttal from the White House through Transport Secretary and acting NASA Chief Sean Duffy.
While filming a new legal drama called "All’s Fair" alongside actress Sarah Paulson, Kardashian didn’t shy away from diving into conspiracy waters during a casual makeup session. Her bold assertion? The historic moon landings were nothing but a grand hoax.
Kardashian doubled down on her theory by pointing to supposed evidence floating around online. “Go to TikTok, see for yourself,” she urged viewers, as if a social media scroll holds more weight than decades of scientific achievement.
Let’s be real—relying on TikTok clips for historical truth is like asking a toddler for tax advice. There are far more credible sources out there to unpack the reality of NASA’s lunar missions.
During her chat with Paulson, Kardashian referenced a video snippet of Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, allegedly dismissing the mission’s challenges. She paraphrased him, claiming, “There was no scary moment, because it didn’t happen."
Apparently, this was the final straw for Kardashian, who concluded with unwavering certainty, “So I think it didn’t happen."
Enter Transport Secretary Sean Duffy, who also happens to be a former reality TV star himself, proving that not all small-screen alumni peddle wild theories. Duffy didn’t mince words in setting the record straight.
“We’ve been to the moon … six times,” Duffy declared, a firm reminder of the undeniable triumphs of the Apollo program. If that’s not a mic drop, what is?
Let’s unpack this with a conservative lens that values hard evidence over trendy skepticism. The moon landings, spanning six successful missions between 1969 and 1972, are among humanity’s greatest feats, backed by mountains of data, photos, and even lunar rocks still studied today.
Kardashian’s comments, while perhaps well-intentioned as a conversation starter, risk undermining the sacrifices and ingenuity of countless scientists and astronauts. It’s a slippery slope when public figures amplify unfounded doubts without engaging with verifiable history.
Now, credit where it’s due—Kardashian has every right to question narratives in a free society. But questioning should lead to research, not a blind leap to conspiracy based on viral snippets.
Speaking of reality TV, isn’t it ironic that Duffy, once a fixture on the small screen, is now the voice of reason against a fellow celebrity’s wild claim? It’s a refreshing twist in a culture often drowning in progressive echo chambers that dismiss tradition and fact for clicks.
At the end of the day, this episode highlights a broader issue: the growing distrust in institutions and history, fueled by social media’s unchecked influence.
While we must guard against blind conformity to any agenda, let’s not throw out proven accomplishments like the moon landings just because they don’t fit a viral narrative.
