(MOSCOW) — The head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency has said that a proposed Russian mission to the moon will be tasked with verifying that the American moon landings were real, though he appeared to be making a joke.

“We have set this objective to fly and verify whether they’ve been there or not,” said Dmitry Rogozin in a video posted Saturday on Twitter.

Rogozin was responding to a question about whether or not NASA actually landed on the moon nearly 50 years ago. He appeared to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering. But conspiracies surrounding NASA’s moon missions are common in Russia.

The Soviet Union abandoned its lunar program in the mid-1970s after four experimental moon rockets exploded.

The founders of Dolce & Gabbana issued an apology Friday after outrage over a recent advertising campaign led to the postponement of their Shanghai fashion show.

This week, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana faced a widespread backlash over commercials promoting the upcoming Shanghai show. The adverts featured a Chinese woman attempting to eat Italian food with chopsticks. In one, the woman struggles to eat a cannoli and a narrator asks, “Is it too big for you?”

In a video, the designers apologized for the advertisements, which many found racist.

“We have always been in love with China,” Dolce said in the video. “We love your culture and we certainly have much to learn. That is why we are sorry if we made mistakes in the way we expressed ourselves.”

“We will never forget this experience and it will certainly never happen again,” Gabbana said. “From the bottom of our hearts, we ask for forgiveness.”

The designers capped off the video by saying “sorry” in Chinese.
