Netizens react after Khloe Kardashian says Kim doubts moon touchdown due to her

Khloe Kardashian has revealed that she doesn’t believe in the 1969 moon landing. She added that she is the reason why her sister, Kim Kardashian, also called the moon landing ‘fake’ in a recent interview.

In an episode of The Kardashians, released on October 30, Kim said that she doesn’t believe in the moon landing. In an interview with PEOPLE, published on November 18, Khloe Kardashian opened up about her beliefs on the topic as well. She said:

“I don’t believe in the moon landing. That’s very controversial. And I feel bad because I think I riled Kim up about it, and I’ve gotten her into a lot of trouble! I don’t think it happened. I think me and my brother, we’ve fed her a lot of information. I don’t know, I feel bad about that, but I’m going to die on this hill!”

Khloe added that there are more conspiracy theories she can talk about, but added that she doesn’t expect the government to admit them. She said:

“I don’t expect the government to admit the moon landing was faked, because then if they admit that didn’t happen… I mean, there’s a long list of things you can look into, and some are too scary to talk about publicly because you don’t want anyone getting mad at you.”

Fans online have reacted to this statement from Khloe Kardashian, as one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote:

“Did she earn her astrophysics degree from E or Hulu.”

@PopCrave Did she earn her astrophysics degree from E or Hulu.

Another wrote,

@PopCrave It mostly shows how conspiratorial thinking has become part of pop culture and how celebrities can unintentionally fuel misinformation simply by saying they don’t believe something historically verified.

Another commented,

@PopCrave the whole family has collective IQ of 70

Users continued to take digs at Khloe and Kim, as one user tweeted,

@PopCrave Khloé’s opinion is her own, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s overwhelming scientific, photographic, and physical evidence the moon landing happened. A celebrity doubting it doesn’t equal proof.

Another wrote,

@PopCrave Why Kardashian sisters are obsessed with moon landing? First Kim K now Khole K !!

Another commented,

@PopCrave God spare us the Kardashians pontificating on matters of science and technology, none of whom have been to university.

On the October 30 episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian was speaking to her All Fair’s co-star Sarah Paulson about the moon landing. She told Paulson:

“I’m sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and … the other one [Neil Armstrong]. 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.’ “

Kim claimed that Aldrin sometimes slips up in interviews, leading her to believe that the moon landing didn’t happen. She added:

“I don’t think we did. 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.”

Explaining her theory further, Kim said:

“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?”

Meanwhile, many experts have spoken up to debunk Kim and Khloe Kardashian’s theories since then. Buzz Aldrin, who stepped on the moon with Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969, has also shared his memories in multiple interviews in recent months.
