LOL! But I’m still wondering why there are no stars.

I wonder if it was just too difficult to calculate the patterns of the stars c. 1970 from that purported vantage point, the surface of the moon...?

Trust me, if we ever went to the moon there would be Walmarts there by now. People want to believe it. They saw it w/their own eyes. Hell, I want t believe it too. It was 1969. If you own a new washing machine, it has far more computer power than any rocket we sent to the moon, and they say we don’t have the technology now?

Exposure settings on the camera. The purpose of the photography was to document lunar surface activities, and the lunar surface was brightly illuminated even with the low sun angle at the time and location of the landings. So you set your exposure to allow for that brightness, and it isn’t sensitive enough to expose the stars in the lunar sky
