Khloé Kardashian took the blame for igniting Kim Kardashian‘s perception that the 1969 moon touchdown was a hoax throughout a latest interview, admitting she helped gas the conspiracy concept that has stirred headlines and on-line debate.

The confession adopted Kim’s viral remarks throughout an October episode of The Kardashians, through which the SKIMS mogul claimed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin by no means made it to the lunar floor.

In a confessional, Kim stated, “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. Why does Buzz Aldrin say it didn’t happen?”

“I don’t believe in the moon landing (either),” Khloé informed People. “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!”

Khloé, 40, stated she and her brother, Rob Kardashian, performed a task in shaping Kim’s view. “I don’t think it happened. I think me and my brother (Rob Kardashian), 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!”

NASA didn’t let the declare slide. The company responded on social media, writing, “Yes, @kimkardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!”

The Apollo program, which ran from 1961 to 1972, included six profitable crewed landings. The first, Apollo 11, befell on July 20, 1969, when Armstrong and Aldrin famously walked on the moon whereas Michael Collins orbited above.

Despite overwhelming scientific proof, moon touchdown denial has endured for many years.

A 2019 YouGov ballot discovered that 10% of Americans both didn’t imagine or weren’t positive the moon touchdown occurred. Common claims embody suspicions over the waving flag, lack of stars in images and alleged inconsistencies in shadows, arguments lengthy debunked by consultants and NASA.

Khloé added that she doesn’t anticipate any official acknowledgment from the federal government.

“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,” she stated.

In the episode, Kim tried to persuade All’s Fair co-star Sarah Paulson of her concept.

Buzz Aldrin, now 95, has sometimes made ambiguous remarks in interviews that conspiracy theorists have seized on, although he has constantly affirmed that the moon touchdown was actual.

Aldrin’s feedback have typically been taken out of context or misinterpreted.
