The video is well worth watching, I think.
Whole story here.

I thought it was interesting that they couldn't get the lighting to look right until they added Neil Armstrong, and the reflection off his suit provided the missing illumination.

(3,539 posts)fake something, in order to prove it was real.
As the man pointed out, in 1969 man could realize the fantisy of landing on the moon but that 'hot' of a GPU(s) wasn't even dreamed of yet. In 1969 'magic' was lighting dots on phosphor in a 5 by 7 matrix.

Being an Amateur Astronomer and Astrophotographer, I told one woman>
'When I shoot fairly bright heavenly objects like Albireo (double star) I do it in seconds, when I shoot nebula I do it in hours..You think I'd pick up images using 1/200 of a second?? Get real.
