One of the things in the supposedly live TV shoot of the landing that raised eyebrows was a fluttering U.S. flag and the absence of background stars in the sky. (This suggests the shoot was done on Earth and also in a studio????) The flag only fluttered when the blast from the lunar module rocket engine ignited to carry the astronauts back into lunar orbit. Because on the huge contrasts in light and dark on the moon because of a lack of a protective atmosphere, the cameras of the time had to be set to accurately capture what was happening on the lunar surface. We can take pictures of stars anytime we want, from right here on Earth. :) IC
