Ariana Grande is trying to clear the air about her lunar skepticism, but her *Wicked* costars aren't making it easy.

On Tuesday, the Grammy winner returned for round two of *Vanity Fair*’s lie detector test interview, a year after the series exposed her for doubting the 1969 moon landing. The first time around, her fellow *Wicked* lead Cynthia Erivo asked a series of rapid fire questions while Grande was hooked up to the lie detector — including whether or not she believes the moon landing was fake.

"Jesus Christ," Grande responded at the time. "What do you take me for? No."

Unfortunately, the polygraph reader then called her out, saying the results were "inconclusive," which prompted the pop star to spiral. Naturally, the clip went viral. So a year later, hooked up to the polygraph for an interview with Bowen Yang, Grande took a moment to address the nonsense.

"I wanna make sure you’re getting the truth this time, because I feel a little bit like we have some air to clear," Grande said while the same polygraph operator strapped her into the machine. "For me, that moon thing… doesn’t sit well with me."

Getting it out of the way early, she added, "The moon landing has happened… and f--- off if it didn’t."

But that wasn't the end of her moon woes. Yang went on to ask his *Wicked* costar a number of questions, hoping to catch her in a lie, and before wrapping up, brought things full circle by asking the star if she'd "like a chance to redeem [her]self" regarding the moon landing.

"No," Grande replied. "I wanna move past it."

Yang then asked the singer if she truly believes that Katy Perry and Gayle King went to the moon on their Blue Origin space trip, to which she replied, "No, because they didn't." As for whether she would sing in space as part of the next Blue Origin crew, she answered, "[I] wouldn’t do that trip, personally."

The interview then intensified as Yang lobbed his toughest question yet: "Do you believe in the moon?"

"I do." Grande replied, then joked, "You know. I hear both arguments."

Bursting into laughter, Yang warned, "You're not helping your case."

"*You're* not helping my case," Grande replied, seemingly fed up with the subject. "The truth is, I don’t give a rat’s a--! I’m worried about Earth, goddamn it! We’re burning alive!"

She continued her rant, exclaiming, "We’re killing each other! Can we worry about Earth for five minutes? Who gives a f--- about the moon and the flag?"

As it turns out, plenty of celebrities do. Just last month, Kim Kardashian caught some flack for revealing that she has some doubts about the infamous Apollo 11 mission that saw two men walk on the moon.

"I don't think we did. I think it was fake," she admitted on a recent episode of *The Kardashians.* "I've seen a few videos on Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn't happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews. Maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin."

And Kardashian isn't alone. Tiffany Haddish was asked to weigh in on the subject during her Wednesday visit to *Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen* and the *Girls Trip *star ultimately sided with Kardashian.

“I believe that there's people living on the moon right now,” Haddish said. “Do I believe we were there? No."

She continued, "I don’t believe we [were] on the moon. I believe there's people there though."

For the record, NASA has argued otherwise. Following Kardashian's comments, the agency's acting administrator Sean Duffy addressed the matter on social media, writing, "Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!"
