Key Points Kim Kardashian says she doesn’t believe the 1969 moon landing actually happened. She told Sarah Paulson on The Kardashians that Buzz Aldrin “admitted” it was fake. Aldrin and the late Neil Armstrong have both publicly confirmed the Apollo 11 mission was real. The Moon Landing Deniers Club just got a new member. Kim Kardashian says she doesn’t believe the human race has ever stepped on the moon and that big event in 1969 never happened. “I’m sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and … the other one,” Kardashian, 45, told her All’s Fair costar Sarah Paulson during the Wednesday, October 30, episode of The Kardashians. “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.’” RELATED: Kim Kardashian Shares Major Health Update After Brain Aneurysm Diagnosis For the record, both Aldrin, 95, and the late Neil Armstrong have repeatedly affirmed that the 1969 Apollo 11 mission was real, with Aldrin even discussing it with Fox earlier this summer. (Aldrin has also written for Parade about space exploration, including why he believes humans should go to Mars.) She claimed that Aldrin had “gotten old” which led him to blurt out things he had previously kept under wraps. “So I think it didn’t happen,” the Skims founder concluded. Paulson was interested in the claim and told Kardashian that was planning on “going on a massive deep dive” about the conspiracy theory. Later, a producer asked the reality star more about her beliefs. “I don’t think we did. I think it was fake,” Kardashian explained. “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.” She 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?” RELATED: Kim Kardashian Admits She Has No ‘Concept’ of ‘What Simple Things Cost’ However, Kardashian shrugged off the producer’s suggestion that people might call her “crazy.” “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what,” she replied. “But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.” One small step for man, one giant leap into conspiracy TikTok.
