    Neither the film nor the very early digital imaging equipment had the ability to capture starlight in fractions of a second. It took extended times to get those to show up. Meanwhile, the reason for taking the images was to record the activities of the Humans there, not the presence of the stars.

    This is a really good example of a conspiracy theory that is based on a lack of knowledge and understanding about the realities of the changes in the levels and capabilities of technology.
