I would think if this was true, it would be on film.

Stars don't show up on images taken in space.

"Stars don't show up on images taken in space."

Or so the ph.d's at NASA would have us believe.

Nah, if you take a picture on the moon you'll see stars, just like here. The sky on the moon in the daytime is black instead of blue because there's no atmosphere.

Here's an addition to what you've all been saying:

Fox TV and the Apollo Moon Hoax
(February 13, 2001)
Phil Plait

"Bad: The first bit of actual evidence brought up is the lack of stars in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon. Without air, the sky is black, so where are the stars?

"Good: The stars are there! They're just too faint to be seen... On the Moon, the lack of air means that the sky is dark. Even when the Sun is high off the horizon during full day, the sky near it will be black. If you were standing on the Moon, you would indeed see stars, even during the day. So why aren't they in the Apollo pictures? ...The lunar landscape is brightly lit by the Sun, of course, and your friend is wearing a white spacesuit also brilliantly lit by the Sun. To take a picture of a bright object with a bright background, you need to set the exposure time to be fast, and close down the aperture setting too; that's like the pupil in your eye constricting to let less light in when you walk outside on a sunny day. So the picture you take is set for bright objects. Stars are faint objects!"
