Need some help, critique required: Apollo photos of Earth from moon

[TimberWolfAu]

So I'm sure you've all seen the complaint; "Why didn't the astronauts take any photos of the Earth while they were on the moon?"

Now, we know they did, you can find the photos if you look, and myself, I have dropped lists of the photos from Apollo, taken from the lunar surface, that contain the Earth.

But, I've tired of repeating the same list, over, and over again.

So I put them in a video.

It's unlisted at the moment, so I would appreciate some feedback before I hit 'public'. Put together in a basic video editor, nothing fancy. And, of course, I have to keep my intro and outro, I have a style to maintain

Thanks. I did not realize that Apollos 14 and 17 took so many photos of the Earth. In fact, it looks like they did nothing but take photos of the Earth.

Very nice - been meaning to put something like this together for ages! Worth adding the TV shots of Earth?

Nice work!

It is a frustrating question when HBs ask about photos of Earth from the Moon, when the whole point is that at their feet is a whole new unexplored landscape!

I thought about it, but I've just kept it to the photos, rather than the TV footage, given it's far easier to drop the photo id with the photo.

That, and it's something i'm just starting out on. Not really sure how serious I want to go into video responses (I do have a rough plan to make one for each of 'Rasa's' 12 Smoking Guns, but that's another story), mostly my plan was just to drop some gaming footage and have some fun.

But then, in about a years time I may find myself with a lot of 'free' time, so who knows.

I guessed that might be the underlying logic

And yeah videos are very time consuming. Even the one I just did on Chang'e-2, which was pretty much just screen captures and is only a few minutes, took a whole day. I've had many ideas but just couldn't face starting!

Nice work - make it public now. In the video description, you could mention that the TV camera on the rover on the later missions also captured the Earth (and maybe challenge the hoaxnuts to find the clips). There's also a video by Sir Mildred Pierce which demonstrates that the UV photos of Earth from Apollo 16 could only have taken from the surface of the Moon.
