In this video, I sift through the Apollo 11 TV broadcasts while the astronauts were halfway to the Moon and show that not only is the Earth seen rotating, but Hurricane Bernice (when it got downgraded to a Tropical Depression) is also visible! Much of these broadcasts were also shown on live TV news coverage, contrary to what infamous Moon Landing "skeptic" Bart Sibrel claims. I made Bart Sibrel aware of Hurricane Bernice and Earth's rotation, yet he still promotes nonsensical "transparencies" or still images placed on the window. This new claim is contrary to his earlier one of a nonsensical crescent cutout added while they are in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Lastly, I show that shadows appear to converge due to perspective, rather than appear parallel or perpendicular as Bart misleadingly claims.
