Last year, Ariana Grande went viral for her comments about whether or not she believed the moon landing happened or not, a seemingly common phenomenon in Hollywood.

Her "Wicked: For Good" co-star Bowen Yang reignited the debate during a new lie detector test interview with Vanity Fair, asking the actress if she wanted to redeem herself.

She quipped, "No, I wanna move past it."

Bowen jokingly asked if she believed Katy Perry and Gayle King went to the moon earlier this year, but she teased, "No, because they didn't. They orbited the Earth... or went for a few minutes up and down."

Bowen wasn't done, asking if she would sing for her "fellow travelers" like the "Roar" hitmaker did, if she had have the chance to visit space, to which she replied, "No, I wouldn’t sing in space. I wouldn’t do that trip, personally. I do love space, but I’m staying right here for now. I think it makes sense. I’ll look from my yard or from a plane, not breaking certain layers.”

After a brief break, Bowen went back to the topic and quizzed Ariana on whether or not there is "a flag planted on the moon."

She replied, "Bowen I hear both arguments. The truth is: I don’t give a rat’s a**! I’m worried about Earth, goddamn it! We’re burning alive! We’re killing each other! Can we worry about Earth for five minutes? Who gives a f*** about the moon and the flag! How did you get me here again? You guys!”

You might remember, just last week Kim Kardashian admitted she doesn't believe in the Moon landing.
