Widespread Controversy After Kim Kardashian Questions Human Moon Landing.. NASA Responds

American television star Kim Kardashian sparked a wide wave of controversy after a statement in one of the episodes of her show The Kardashians, in which she expressed her disbelief that the human landing on the moon in 1969 actually happened.

Nasa's director, Sean Duffy, briefly responded to the statement, saying: “Yes.. we went to the moon six times,” confirming that the agency has documented scientific evidence from photos, documents, and lunar samples, noting that NASA is currently preparing to send new human missions to the moon as part of the Artemis program.

Despite the official response, the clip ignited widespread interaction on social media platforms, with comments ranging from mockery and sarcasm to discussion, amid the widespread sharing of the video among Kardashian's followers, who number over 300 million.

Observers believe that the controversy has raised the issue of the impact of public statements made by celebrities on the digital space, even if they are made in an entertainment context, especially when they relate to scientifically documented topics.
