You didn't answer the question
WHY does NASA say the picture I posted would be what the day looks like without atmosphere and why does the same not apply om the moon?
I guess its something you can't wrap your mind around huh?
:shk:

So you truly have convinced yourself that the Apollo astronauts could not have seen stars during their moonwalks?

I'm curious how you qualify the image you posted as an "absolute proof of a faked image for publicity".
I'm purely asking, if for no other reason than to know what your thought process on this is.

Honestly, people need to stop spiting on astronauts and just know how lucky they are for being up there.

This is one of my favourite airplanes of all time, not because of beauty or anything else, but because of what you see on the video I'm going to show.
When they are up in 70,000ft, and he films the "sky", you can't see the stars either, and guess what, it's not because of the atmosphere, because at that height 98% of it is below them.

Does that type of enhancement really rise to the level of being called a fake?
And if that's the worst faking they ever did, I can certainly live with that.
Seems like they do more touching up than that on the photos of celebrities on the magazine covers and I hear those called enhanced but not really "fake".

I don't suppose the mission plan used their limited time on the moon's surface to have them standing there doing nothing but stargazing.

So why don't we see the stars in the moon photo? Because the moon is usually in the moon photos and to avoid overexposing the moon the shutter isn't left open long enough to capture the much lower light of the stars. The astronauts' still cameras probably had enough resolution to capture stars if they were put on a tripod and aimed at the sky with the shutter open long enough, with no part of the moon's surface in the field of view. (They would also need more sensitive film with a higher ASA number to do this). However capturing stars might have been beyond the capability of the video cameras they had at the time even if they were aimed at the sky, they were pretty bad compared to today's video cameras
