The camera isn't looking at the Sun....It's looking behind the sun ergo...either the backdrop should be bright and you should see bright light in backdrop OR you should be looking at stars.
It's reflecting off all the objects you see, like the astronauts and spacecraft.
There is no atmosphere in outer space the stars should be bright. VERY bright
The brightness of stars is determined by how far they are, not lack of atmosphere.
[stars by moon]
Did you read the filenames? Those are both the planet Venus, next to the moon, both of which are lit by the sun.
See how Venus isn't a perfect circle? It has a dark side on the same side as the moon. They're both being lit at similar angles from the Sun (bottom right and far left).
As for rockets, those are quite different from airplanes, so I could only guess.

I'll answer the other point. Rewatch that apollo 17 vid. Does that honestly look real to you.
Yes
or
No?

Sure, I guess. Why not? What do you expect a rocket to look like in a vacuum, and what experience are you basing that on?
