Thanks for background on NASA, Shyaku. There's a movie and a new documentary out, so may watch as I know little on this subject. "First Man" stars Ryan Gosling as Armstrong. "Apollo 11" (2019 doc) - Canadian director - contains archive footage.
NASA unfortunately didn't help itself when it lost the video footage of the first landing. NASA said this wasn't a problem as it found some copies at a TV station archives. In 2009, NASA announced that improved, enhanced footage was available... but this opened the floor to people wondering if footage had been photo-shopped. Two 2017/18 moon documentaries (there are many of them) announce "AI-enhanced" footage.
NASA has described how it managed to telecast from moon to earth:

Taken from its website: Data from the Apollo 11 mission were sent from the spacecraft to three ground stations, one in California and two in Australia, which retransmitted it to the Manned Space Flight Center in Houston. The ground stations also recorded the data on special 1-inch, 14-track tapes, one track of which was for video. The video footage was recorded in "slow scan" — 10 video frames per second — which meant it couldn't be directly broadcast over commercial television. The video was converted for broadcast and uplinked to a satellite, then downlinked to Houston, from which it was sent out to the world. In early 2005, responding to inquiries from NASA retirees and others, NASA began a search for the 14-track data tapes. Ultimately, the agency couldn’t find the tapes
NASA's description of its transmission of data to earth is straightforward. Haven't been able to find info as to the state of remote-control technology, circa 1972: to explain the transmission from the unmanned moon-based camera, to account for the take-off footage. ------
Moon landings involve questioning inter-planetary unknowns. Events on earth = planetary knowns. Study of un-doctored photographs/video as primary evidence in forensics and courtrooms is helpful.
For example, analysts looking at a photo of a gas cylinder lying on a bed in Douma, Syria - ref: leaked Organisation for Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) report - can ask why all the porcelain ornaments on the shelf above the bed are intact. If this cylinder burst through the roof from a great height after a government air bombardment, as officially asserted, why are the bed and ornaments intact? Visual evidence - coupled with known physics laws - points to the cylinder being manually placed on the bed.
Given the way 'moon landing' and 'chem-trail' issues have been used to smear-by-association and shut down many legitimate inquiries - particularly by The Guardian and the BBC - I tend to think they're not great subjects for serious media analysis boards to entertain? For this reason, I understand John Monro's response
