They couldn't show the Nazi moonbase on the dark side for security reasons.

They did see Pink Floyd however.

Some can't believe their eyes, apparently. I see curvature.

I see part of the earth that is being shined on by the sun got blacked out, like the Earth is a waning gibbous moon 95% full.

WTF, Is there some kind of invisibility shield cloaking the earth?

I was very excited for this entire event and I was very let down by the  quality of imagery presented throughout the entire event.
Watching the live streams of both the launch and the return, I felt like I watched more animations than I did actual footage. 
Someone buy these guys a few GoPros asap

*yes...I realize that their PR folks were axed prior to the events but still...

They don't want you to see the flight path curve towards Earth when it's at most only 50 miles away.  Real Video in link video I posted.

What do you think night is?

I mean the Moon really is the greatest light in this Universe.  Aspiring to reach it isn’t all bad, IMHO.

Every star in the universe is laughing at that statement. The Moon has no light of its own.

You expect internet streaming quality for that distance? The internet uses correcting protocols that don't work when seconds are needed to get a reply. The way they had to do the steaming is the problem, not the photograph and video equipment. 

And for the most part in the past, the PR people caused a lot of the problems. Like not having video scan converters ready for live feeds.

Pink Floyd is the most popular reason most call 'the far side' 'the dark side' even though lunar night is actually the dark side of the Moon. Just like Earth, the Moon has day and night. Yet most people don't even think about that. Roughly 2 weeks of sunlight and 2 weeks of night. 

Great album though.

What do you think night is?

Night is on the other side of the globe, not the side being hit by the sun. 

But on second thought, I think I was mistaken, it looks more like a 95% WAXING gibbous earth.

Neither does the Sun.

But you’re right, silly me, Earth is the greatest light in the Universe, albeit an invisible one.

At least the Moon gets its light straight from Earth, but the Sun gets it 2nd hand from the Moon.

Anyway, point is the Moon is greater than the Sun.

Wow.  The ignorance is strong with this one....
