Kim Kardashian, the 45-year-old media mogul, recently sparked debate once again—this time about one of history’s most iconic moments in space exploration. In the latest episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, which aired October 30, the reality star and entrepreneur attempted to persuade her American Horror Story co-star, Sarah Paulson, 50, that the Apollo 11 moon landing, featuring Buzz Aldrin and the late Neil Armstrong, never actually occurred.
The conversation unfolded between takes on the set of Kim Kardashian’s Hulu drama, capturing a candid glimpse into her controversial beliefs. According to the episode, Kim told Paulson, “I’m sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and … the other one.” Paulson responded nonchalantly, “Yes, do it,” as Kim launched into her case.
“She [the journalist] asks, ‘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,’” Kim Kardashian said, referencing what she claimed were statements by Aldrin. She suggested that his advanced age might explain the remark, before ultimately declaring, “So I think it didn’t happen.”
Paulson reportedly told Kim Kardashian that she was preparing for a “massive deep dive” after reviewing the materials Kim frequently sends her—an assortment of conspiracy theories and articles questioning the validity of the moon landing. Kim’s persistence, captured on camera, underscores how seriously she considers these theories.
Later in the episode, a producer visited Kim’s trailer, asking her directly to clarify her stance on the historic 1969 mission. Kim confirmed, “I don’t think we did. I think it was fake.” She further elaborated, claiming, “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.”
Attempting to substantiate her doubts, Kim Kardashian cited several of the most common arguments promoted by moon-landing skeptics. She questioned why the American flag appeared to flutter in the footage despite the moon’s lack of atmosphere, why the astronauts’ shoes in museums supposedly differ from the footprints in photographs, and why stars were absent in the lunar sky. “Why does Buzz Aldrin say it didn’t happen?” she asked rhetorically, as she laid out her reasoning for believing the mission was staged.
Kim Kardashian Stirs Debate by Claiming 1969 Moon Landing Never Happened
When asked how she responds to critics branding her as “crazy,” Kim Kardashian shrugged off the criticism. “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself,” she said, highlighting the role of social media in circulating and legitimizing alternative narratives.
Buzz Aldrin, now 95, has consistently defended the authenticity of the Apollo 11 mission throughout his life. Far from agreeing with Kim’s claims, he has spent decades countering conspiracy theories and emphasizing the scientific and logistical rigor that enabled humans to reach the lunar surface. Aldrin’s commitment to preserving the mission’s legacy is well documented and has often come with public confrontations with doubters.
One of the most famous incidents occurred in 2002, when Aldrin, then 72, physically confronted a moon-landing denier outside a Beverly Hills hotel. The man had called Aldrin “a coward, liar, and thief,” even demanding he swear on a Bible that he had walked on the moon. Aldrin punched him, and while police chose not to press charges, the moment symbolized his decades-long frustration with persistent skepticism.
Beyond these confrontations, Aldrin has repeatedly discussed the scientific challenges of the Apollo 11 mission, the training required, and the emotional toll of landing on another world. He has emphasized the collaborative efforts of thousands of engineers, scientists, and astronauts who contributed to one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
Despite Aldrin’s decades-long defense, public fascination with moon-landing conspiracy theories persists. Kim Kardashian’s comments, as captured in The Kardashians, are a modern example of how celebrity influence can amplify fringe beliefs, giving them a platform in mainstream media. While her views remain controversial, they illustrate a cultural phenomenon in which historical events are increasingly interrogated and, at times, disputed by high-profile figures.
The episode serves as a reminder of the power of media personalities to shape discourse—and the enduring allure of questioning even the most widely accepted truths. As Kim Kardashian continues to share her moon-landing doubts with Sarah Paulson and the public, the debate over fact, belief, and celebrity influence shows no signs of fading.
