In a plot twist messier than a Kardashian family reunion, NASAโ€”literal rocket scientistsโ€”have had to stop their regularly scheduled galaxy-saving to answer Kim Kardashianโ€™s suspicions about whether man actually walked on the Moon. Because obviously, while peering into black holes and mapping Martian terrain, the space agency also moonlights as a myth-busting hotline for reality TV royalty.

๐Ÿ›ธ Americaโ€™s Finest Scientists vs. Planet Influencer: The Lunar Smackdown We Didnโ€™t Know We Needed

It all started when Kim, in a brilliant moment of celestial clarity, decided that Buzz Aldrinโ€”NASA legend, second man on the Moon, and American iconโ€”was no longer โ€œpretendingโ€ he went to space. Thatโ€™s right. According to Kimโ€™s expertly calibrated intuition, old age has cracked Buzzโ€™s poker face. The mask has slipped. The truth is out. Or maybe she confused the Moon with a backdrop on her latest SKIMS campaign shoot.

In response, NASAโ€”who should be, oh I donโ€™t know, building lunar habitats or decoding the secrets of the universeโ€”issued a formal clarification that the Moon landings were indeed real, and not the prequel to Keeping Up With Kubrick.

Let that sink in.

NASA, the same institution that landed a rover on Mars with more computing power than Kimโ€™s first flip phone, had to press pause on existential space questions because a billionaire influencer thinks the Moon landing was staged.

And just to be clear: Buzz Aldrin punched a Moon-landing denier once. So frankly, if the man is choosing not to clock Kim K with a left hook, we should thank him for his restraint. Maybe he has mellowed with age.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Kimโ€”who, letโ€™s face it, has spent more time orbiting luxury resorts than reading anything with footnotesโ€”has assumed the role of celestial investigator. And in a truly modern twist, her โ€œproofโ€ comes not from declassified footage or lunar rock analysisโ€ฆ but from vibes. Buzzโ€™s vibes, apparently, arenโ€™t lunar enough anymore. Maybe his new orthopedic shoes donโ€™t scream โ€œmoonboots.โ€ We donโ€™t know.

But we do know this: if NASAโ€™s now on speed dial for influencers, we should expect next weekโ€™s press conference to involve decoding Mercury retrograde for Dua Lipa.

๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Pop Culture vs. Physics: Guess Whoโ€™s Winning?

Thereโ€™s a certain tragic poetry in the fact that a civilization capable of splitting atoms, sequencing DNA, and live-streaming from the edge of the solar system must still stop and explain that the Moon is real, that weโ€™ve been there, and no, Buzz Aldrin isnโ€™t a crisis actor.

But hey, maybe this is the collab we never saw coming. SKIMS x NASA: zero gravity shapewear. The new line for when youโ€™re feeling spacey. Comes with foil booties and a conspiracy-proof lining.

At this point, itโ€™s only a matter of time before Elon Musk hosts an influencer launch party on the Moon and invites Kim to plant a branded flag: โ€œOne small step for Kim, one giant leap for content.โ€

Still think this is just harmless fun? Think again. When one of the most influential women on Earth hints that NASAโ€™s greatest triumph was a Hollywood hoax, weโ€™re not just in dumb territoryโ€”weโ€™re doing cartwheels in the canyon of idiocy. ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ‘
