All of the clips show recent comments. Could it be that because we used the Saturn V to go to the moon and we don't currently have that right now?
Mostly it is people saying we don't CURRENTLY have the capability to go past low earth orbit.
Why? As long as you kept looking upward so that your eyes would adapt to the dimness of the stars, you would see stars since there is no atmosphere to scatter light like there is on Earth.
but the star question has me more confused..

This video has some strong proof that the apollo missions were faked. Not only do they admit they can't fly past low earth orbit, but there is a clip of space station footage showing a green screen, like they use to make movies.

The astronauts didn't look up at the sky long enough for their eyes to adapt. They were doing other things, looking around at the terrain, which is quite bright. How many stars do you see when you walk out of a brightly lit building at night?

There is nothing currently in the NASA inventory that can go past earth orbit, with astronauts on board. And what is being tested has to be shown that it can go through a different region of the Van Allen Belts and stay in the radioactive environment of space far longer than other manned missions.
Tyson was. Isn't his statement what confused you?
I wasn't talking about astonauts on the moon.
The ones who were talking about not seeing any stars on the way there.
