“I’m sending you a million articles by now, both with Buzz Aldrin and the other one,” he told Paulson, referring to Neil Armstrong. “Yes, do it,” Paulson said on Thursday night’s episode.
“This girl asked, ‘What was your scariest moment?’ he says. And [Aldrin] ‘It wasn’t a scary moment because it didn’t happen,’ he says. It could have been scary, but it wasn’t because it wasn’t,” Kardashian said.
According to Kardashian, the astronaut is “old” and makes mistakes when talking about the famous moon landing. “So I don’t think that happened,” Kardashian said.

On Thursday, NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy used X, formerly known as Twitter, to reassure Kardashian that yes, Americans have reached the moon.
“Yes Kim Kardashian, we have been to the Moon before… 6 times!” he wrote, tagging the star. Duffy explained that thanks to President Donald Trump, America is back in the Space Race with NASA Artemis.
“And even better: @NASAArtemis returns, led by @POTUS. We won the last space race and we will win this one too,” Duffy wrote alongside a clip of Kardashian and Paulson on the reality show.
