Khloé Kardashian is taking responsibility for a belief that’s sparked both controversy and curiosity, her skepticism about the Apollo 11 moon landing, and the fact that her sister Kim is now on the same cosmic page.

“I don’t believe in the moon landing,” Khloé shared with 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!”

Kim’s claims, made during a conversation with 'All’s Fair' co-star Sarah Paulson, prompted NASA to respond publicly.

Despite the wave of fact-checking and expert commentary following Kim’s comments on Season 7 of Hulu’s 'The Kardashians,' Khloé remains resolute. “I don’t think it happened,” she confirms. “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!”

Kim has defended her moon landing skepticism publicly.

Kim’s claims, made during a conversation with 'All’s Fair' co-star Sarah Paulson, prompted NASA to respond publicly. On X, NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy reassured the public. “Yes, Kim Kardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times! And even better: NASA Artemis is going back under the leadership of POTUS. We won the last space race, and we will win this one too.”

Kim replied, “Wait…. what’s the tea on 3I Atlas?!?!!!!!!!?????” Khloé’s fascination with conspiracies doesn’t stop at lunar landings. “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,” she said.

She explores these topics more openly in the third season of her podcast, 'Khloé in Wonder Land,' which streams every Wednesday. “This time, a lot of my guests will be family members, or people in my inner circle, people who are still really fascinating, but who are also comfortable engaging in a conversation with me,” she explained. “Or who aren’t afraid to call me out on something! So it’s going to be a little looser, and not so talk show-y, if that makes sense.”

Returning to space conspiracies, Kim has defended her moon landing skepticism publicly. During her Hulu series, she cited various anomalies in photos and videos, including the way the flag appears to move and the prints on the shoes.

She also referred to Buzz Aldrin, saying, “I’ve seen a few videos on Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now in interviews. Maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin.” When confronted about potential backlash, Kim shrugged, “They’re going to say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok, see for yourself.”

NASA has also invited Kim to witness the upcoming Artemis II mission, scheduled for April 2026, which will take four astronauts around the Moon. Artemis III, slated for 2027, will be the first lunar landing since the Apollo program, with astronauts exploring the South Pole of the Moon before returning to Earth.
