And they will always blame it on the camera.

because there is no atmosphere to block the light

how much does the atmosphere reduce the amount of starlight transmitted through it?

according to astronauts they are 10 times as bright and 10 times as numerous

yes, but according to astronauts that is what we would see

they did not measure it, they are making it up
one astronaut says its pitch black, another says you see stars everywhere

idk if that's true, but i believe it - light pollution is a big problem
but if there's something brighter in the shot, you won't see many stars
i.e. why are there no stars in photos people take of the moon?

well no, not necessarily. there is such a thing has hyperbole.
>one astronaut says its pitch black, another says you see stars everywhere
and you would need to listen carefully to context in order to not miss their meaning. What you can see very much depends on your location, the general light conditions, and your own degree of dark adaptation in the moment.

ive listened to the video you refer to and the context is easily understandable if you are not set on ignoring it.

Here's a photo I took during a partial lunar eclipse a couple years ago. Still plenty of stars visible.
If it was a bright full moon and I zoomed in and focused on in, the camera would adjust and there would be *fewer* stars, but it wouldn't erase and hide all of them

Calculating the impact of the atmosphere on star brightness is fairly trivial, any STEM undergrad should be able to do it, just measure the brightness of a star when its somewhat near the horizon and compare that measurement to one taken when the star is close to the zenith, then compare the path length through the atmosphere for both measurements and you'll be able to figure out how bright the start would look if no atmosphere is present. Most astronomers go through the process several times a night when observing the sky from Earth based observatories. Each night has different conditions, but in general on a nice clear night you'll find that the stars near the zenith will be estimated being about half as bright as they would be if no atmosphere is present.
Astronauts are generally urban or suburban dwellers and so they rarely see a dark sky during their time on Earth and as a result are easily shocked by seeing a dark sky anywhere, be it in space or just out in the middle of nowhere on Earth on a clear night

If the sun is hitting your spaceship, you basically have daytime vision of the stars.

Orbit that pass to the dark side of the earth see stars clearly

What's the truth here? Why didn't they see any stars from the moon??

because they were constantly starting down at their feet to keep from falling over. if you stare at a brightly lit area ( full sun) and then glance up, you wont see stars because your eyes are stopped down.
