This is some footage of the Earth and the crew of apollo 11. It's close to an hour long. It's not a polished program or anything like that, so it may be boring to some. Found it on google video where someone was claiming it shows the moon voyages were fake. I did my best to try to find where it's obviously faked, yet I had no such luck. Perhaps it's in there somewhere. It just didn't jump out at me. Maybe someone with a lot of experience viewing NASA videos would be able to tell if everything looked the way it should.

NASA personnel continue to sift through 37-year-old records in their attempt to locate the magnetic tapes that recorded the original Apollo 11 video in 1969. The original tapes may be at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which requested their return from the National Archives in the 1970s, or at another location within the NASA archiving system. Despite the challenges of the search, NASA does not consider the tapes to be lost.

The tapes were sent from Goddard to a storage facility of the National Archives in late 1969. This kind of transfer is standard for government records, whether contracts, memos, photographs or space telemetry. Among the 2,614 boxes of Apollo mission tapes that went to the facility, the original Apollo 11 may have been among them. Between 1975 and 1979, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center recalled all but two of the 2,614 boxes. The remaining two boxes included telemetry tapes from Apollo 9, leading engineers to believe that these shipments contained most of the Apollo related materials.

As one reel fills, the next machine automatically starts recording a slight overlap for data continuity. Credit: NASA. First-generation copies of the converted video from Apollo 11 as well as other first-generation copies and some original versions of the converted video for the Apollo 12 through Apollo 17 flights are still in NASA Johnson Space Center's Informational Resources Directorate's video vault in Houston.
