NASA officials were forced to issue an official response after Kim Kardashian spoke out about a “moon conspiracy.”
The statement was made by the agency's head, Sean Duffy, reports a correspondent for the online publication Belnovosti.
On the new season of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Kim Jong-un cast doubt on the historic American moon landing, TASS reports.
She referred to an article about American astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who allegedly denied the event.
Duffy did not remain silent in the face of such a media personality popularizing the myth of the “moon conspiracy.”
The NASA director stated in his social media post: “Kardashian is wrong!”
He recalled that the United States has successfully completed six lunar missions, and is currently working on a new Artemis program.
As for Aldrin's “doubts,” this speculation has also been examined and refuted.
We are talking about a popular video on the Internet featuring an astronaut.
He allegedly doubts the authenticity of the videos of the moon landing being shown.
In fact, Aldrin criticized the use of animation in television reports, which was mixed with real footage.
Despite scientific consensus, the “moon landing conspiracy” theories that gained popularity in the 1970s continue to resonate with society.
