Yeah, you got me!
I was wrong on the number being half a million rather than half a billion, in a round trip video transmission in the year of our Lord 1972, from the "moon" to Australia, then to Houston Texas, then back again to Australia and then the moon...
it's only half a million miles...
and still no one can explain it! LOL!
I think I was remembering that idiotic fake NASA "photo" of the "sun" (it was a faked painting by NASA's artists) that was like a billion miles away...! Or was it the faked Jupiter photos that miraculously didn't change in two years... (same NASA artist?) 
LOL!
Still, no one can explain in plain English how in God's Firmament how supposedly some NASA worker "remote controlled" a zooming and tracking shot of the supposed "lift off" from the moon of Apollo 17 from the "moon's surface"...
APOLLO 17 LIFT-OFF FROM THE "MOON" WHILE NASA SAYS THEY REMOTE CONTROLLED THE ZOOM AND TRACKING SHOT ON THE CAMERA LEFT BEHIND FROM HOUSTON OVER A 500,000 MILE VIDEO AND AUDIO TRANSMISSION.... (lol)

Merry Christmas from God's "footstool" of the earth... and remember, those are just hanging lights in His heaven/Firmament!
