Why more Kimpossible than moon landings?

IT WAS one giant leap for the conspiracy theory industry.

- NEIL LESLIE

Taking on one of the most extraordinary chapters from human history and dismissing that it ever happened.

It had to be a preposterous fake, the whole thing staged on a Hollywood backlot.

How could something so stupendous and miraculous have been achieved on a barren rock in such a remote part of the solar system?

Yes, even today there are many who simply refuse to believe the story that Kim Kardashian spent her honeymoon in the Irish midlands, with nights out at the pictures in Tullamore and Portlaoise.

At this stage even Kim must be doubting it herself. After all, this woman who built an entertainment empire from a sex tape appearance is fond of a conspiracy theory.

Last week the reality TV billionaire denounced the Apollo moon landings as “fake” to the faithful flock who devote their lives to Keeping Up With The Kardashians and their theories.

It didn't seem like her first tinfoil hat rodeo either.

She came to the argument armed with two damning exhibits.

Sure hadn't the sole surviving astronaut from the Apollo 11 “landing” admitted it was all made up?

That would be Buzz Aldrin, a man who has spent the last 60 years telling anyone who will listen what it was like when he and Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

He once even punched a conspiracy theorist who called it all fake to his face.
