It is wonderful and entirely expected that, as the Lunar Lander gets close to touch down, say at 2:50, the image quality of the filmed landing from on-board becomes clearer than the LRO... I love this. One of the reasons as well as exposure latitude that cine (actual FILM cameras) are sometimes still used by top cinematic directors. Thanks to both GoneToPlaid and Bertie.

But,but, the one on the right is so detailed, proving the one on the left is fake!!! It must be some whistleblower using Photoshop!!! I think I saw a flamingo about two minutes in, but, but... Superb work, just beautiful. A great tribute to all who worked on this. Thank you.

@BertieSlack. Are you getting excited about our return to manned missions to the moon? I know I am!

For me this is the conclusive proof that humans and not robots landed on the moon. The manual control is clear. The latency is too much for it to be remote. The craters match.
