I can see where you’re coming from but can’t see it as something to get upset about. They state that their goal was to reconstruct the event as it would have looked were it recorded with a modern movie camera, not as how it would have looked to the astronauts.
Um, no. APOD writers LIED. From the source here
Using photo mosaics and elevation data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), this video commemorates Apollo 8's historic flight by recreating the moment when the crew first saw and photographed the Earth rising from behind the Moon. Narrator Andrew Chaikin, author of A Man on the Moon, sets the scene for a three-minute visualization of the view...and here (the original):
By the fall of 2013 Wright and colleague Dan Gallagher had produced a new video, synchronized with the onboard voice tape. It reconstructed the historic moment in a way no one except the astronauts had previously experienced.Regardless, the geek in me labels the video lazy. They should have included the star field from the crew perspective, not a damn camera.
Additionally, this lazy, misattributed crap is par for the course. I remind you that this is NASA, the same group responsible for this:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most prevalent greenhouse gas driving global climate change. However, its increase in the atmosphere would be even more rapid without land and ocean carbon sinks, which collectively absorb about half of human emissions every year. Advanced computer modeling techniques in NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office allow us to disentangle the influences of sources and sinks and to better understand where carbon is coming from and going to.
