I hate to burst the bubble of fun conspiracy that some of you like to create, but when you are in space taking a photo where the moon, sun, earth, floating astronaut, or anything bright like these are in the frame, the exposure setting that lets you capture them prevents the camera from recording any starlight. It is NOT edited out, or CGI... good grief.

I have heard all the arguments why no stars appear in certain NASA photos, yet I was never satisfied with the answer...

I looked around for some time to find a film like the following video from NASA. This one is perfect because not only does it show stars, but has what I wanted most, a recognizable constellation so there is no question that we are seeing stars.

But you've only proven my point. Those photos you've shown were either taken from the interior, or had no bright objects in the foreground. So yeah, of course you still see the stars.

One other thing important is that with older photos, they didn't use the "tech" we do nowadays. The contrast occurring was even more pronounced.

You're correct, and it's rarely accidental. More often it's botched deliberately to hide compelling or sensitive information.
