Hours after the episode aired, acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy responded to Kardashian in a post including a clip of her remarks. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, we\u2019ve been to the Moon before \u2026 six times!\u201d Duffy wrote<\/a>. \u201cAnd even better: NASA Artemis is going back under the leadership of POTUS [U.S. President Donald Trump]. We won the last space race and we will win this one too.\u201d<\/p>\n Kardashian has said her doubts stem from alleged past comments by Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon after Neil Armstrong, which have long circulated online in edited or misleading form, and that those videos led her to question the official account of the landing. (Aldrin, for his part, once punched a man<\/a> who questioned whether the moon landings were real or not.) <\/p>\n After Duffy\u2019s post, Kardashian replied<\/a> with a change of subject: \u201cWait \u2026 what\u2019s the tea on 3I Atlas?!?!!!!!!!?????,\u201d referencing an interstellar comet recently spotted passing<\/a> through the solar system.<\/p>\n Duffy, who was selected by Trump in July as acting boss of the space agency<\/a>, responded that it was a \u201cGreat question!\u201d said NASA\u2019s current observations show that this is the third interstellar comet to pass through our solar system.<\/p>\n
