Think about it this way, the crew has just had hairy landing almost
out of fuel, they call back "the eagle has landed", on earth everyone is
elated, they've made it. Armstrong is going down the ladder when
the video feed breaks up, having planned for every contingency
"they" cut in a video portion of "Armstrong" descending a ladder,
after the delay everyone on earth hears and sees what is really going
on, the USA has beaten the USSR to the moon. Soon after the
video breaks up again... "they're" done with the clip. The astronauts get
the camera from inside and set it up, they get the rover camera working,
who knows about the edit? The astronauts obviously don't, the
video went thru JPL, so it's likely no one at mission control knew,
it's the sort of secret that some military type might take to the grave
with them. Is there proof? No... just a few inconsistencies in what
remains of the footage. The original is gone, so there's no way to
look for a definitive forensic video fingerprint proof.
