What am I supposed to be seeing here?
Apollo 15 mission film # 1247FF "02:49 Jettison of subsatellite." https://history.nasa.gov/afj/ap15fj/a15videoindex.html
Yes, what's your point?
That doesn't look fake to you? Lmao
There are a couple common problems in space photography that give people a sense of wrongness.
First... in space, rotating objects can easily exhibit precession, as this probe is. To our eyes it looks weird but that's just because we didn't evolve in a frictionless, freefall environment.
The second is the absence of stars in field. This is very simple. Objects in space, illuminated by the sun, are so fucking bright that you have really crank down on the aperture and the exposure time. This is something any photographer can understand if they've worked with real film.
Aside from heat shielding, space craft tend to be very bright white or reflective metal to reflect as much light as possible for thermal management.
