Rich, have you ever taken a photograph, especially a motion picture, and seen visible stars in the photo?
The camera apertures are closed down so tight to cope with the high intensity light on the astronaut, unfiltered by an atmosphere, that they don't let the faint starlight to be seen, that's why no stars. BASIC photography.
We obviously went because of the reflectors up there, but if what was televised at the time is real, I don't know. For all we know they fugged up the film on the way back and needed to save face but the one thing I know is that their TV press conference after the fact is weird as shìt. They act like they saw something they wanted to forget. Maybe there's a reason we haven't been back since those missions.

I was 8-years old and on vacation with parents in Alberta, Canada. We went up there to escape the North Texas heat every summer, then spent a week at the EAA Convention in Illinois/Wisconsin. We were in a drive-in getting some food and listening to reports on the radio.

I was 19 and about a month away from getting off a bus at Parris Island S.C.. It was a Sunday night and I watched it in the living room with the whole family. Shortly after that I walked outside and the moon was visible in the night sky. I remember looking at it and it blew my mind that there were guys up there.
I was 11. My mom and one of her sisters used to spend 2-3 weeks every summer helping my widowed grandmother in TN. Two of my cousins, my younger brother and I watched from her house on a tiny B&W TV.
Some guys talking about watching at school. I remember staying up a lot later than my normal bedtime to see it. Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon at 10:56PM Eastern time. That would have been 8PM in California. They didn't leave the moon until almost 2 AM on the 21st. We stayed up till they left the moon.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
Couple of days before I turned 15 watching the landing in my parents living room. Seem to remember it was later in the evening in NY.

4:00 - 4:30 PM EDT. Two hours earlier out here.
That would make it 7:00 - 7:30 New York time. That doesn't make sense, because I distinctly remember having already gone to bed, and my brother convincing me to get out of bed to watch the first man walk on the moon.
EDT is New York time. It is a matter of record.

But they did wait a few hours before actually stepping onto the lunar surface.

Back in my photography days, I used four lenses for different things. I never experienced what you are talking about.
My mind is reminiscing about a couple really good shots.
Back to the topic at hand.... I'm supposed to believe our government spent hundreds of millions of dollars and didn't have a good enough camera and film to prevent my queston.

I was 7, watched on it on a black and white with my Dad, who was a direct beneficiary of the space race. Most of his higher education was funded by National Science Foundation grants
