So, the BLUE MARBLE!
Taken from a distance of 22 thousand kilometers or so through the porthole of the Apollo 17 CSM!
An incomplete portion of a totally sunlit half of the Earth, completely surrounded by "outer space!"
Compared to live color footage of Apollo 11 found in the following video (from 32:00-onward):
Please note once the cardboard cutout is removed from the porthole how the entire Earth fills the porthole...
Who says that "the entire Earth fills the porthole"? Bart Sibrel? If he claimed that the sky was blue, I'd immediately race outside and double check!
So, I'd advise you to double-check all that he claims, such as, "once the cardboard cutout is removed from the porthole how the entire Earth fills the porthole".

<< Moved down to answer >>
Yesterday, we celebrated the 47th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, the historic initiative that landed astronauts on the moon. The only part of the Apollo 11 spacecraft to make it back to earth was the command module "Columbia," where astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin lived throughout the eight day mission.
Since its landing on July 24th, 1969, the Columbia has been kept sealed in plexiglass at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. That is, until recently, when the software company Autodesk was allowed a rare opportunity to use their high-tech 3D scanning equipment to create a simulation of the spacecraft that anyone on the internet can explore.

So, Mr Total Lacking, are you still going to claim that "once the cardboard cutout is removed from the ( squarish ) porthole how the entire ( squarish ) Earth fills the porthole"?

Now what was your problem with "Blue marble (AS17-148-22727)" again?
I am sorry...
Was there something in either of these videos that actually debunks the video I posted?
Sibrel had nothing to do with the footage depicted from 32:00 forward. Came straight from NASA.
Sure, "Sibrel had nothing to do with the footage depicted from 32:00 forward", but he had everything to do with the deceptive with the commentary.
And you so kindly spelled out the heart of the issue, with "Please note once the cardboard cutout is removed from the porthole
how the entire Earth fills the porthole..."
I'll move the image of the
Apollo 11 Command Module so can see how deceitful those words were.
Yes, the images of earth were circular, but the windows of the
Apollo 11 Command Module are almost square!
So, if "the entire Earth fills the porthole" the
earth must be square
! There are many other discrepancies, but look at the videos.
So, those videos are not necessary for that bit, but just to show how deceptive
Bart Sibrel really is.
Like to comment on your hero,
Bart Sibrel?
