If there was this great, untapped audience, then
Kurt Cameron & Kevin Sorbo would get half-billion buck contracts and double-digit gross points, not SAG rate
2) the Atlas Shrugged movie(s) would have made their bank back and be on AS17: Galt & Rearden Heated Rivalry instead of $40M under water.

It's hilarious that they've convinced themselves that there's a massive, under-served audience segment just yearning for more right-wing content if only someone would give it them. It doesn't exist! The people they're talking about already only watch TV and entertain themselves by bitching about it

AS17-139-21204 colorized - From Aster Cowart (terrasabaea.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2naP3NV
Apollo 17 image AS17-139-21204, taken by Jack Schmitt during EVA-3. This photo of the LM Challenger was taken from Geology Station 6, approximately 3.1 km (1.9 mi) from the landing site, using a 500 mm telephoto lens. It was taken at approximately 165h48m elapsed mission time. This photo uses the film scan produced by the Project Apollo Archive, and has been processed to remove calibration reseaus, dust, and scratches. It has also been manually colorized using a palette selected from color images taken during the mission. Image Credit: NASA / Jack Schmitt / Project Apollo Archive / Aster Cowart

The best the Apollo astronauts could do from the actual lunar surface, was a low-angle shot like this one from Apollo 17.

It makes me laugh to think of the spacesuited photographer scrunching down, trying to get Earth and the flag in the shot 😁

They needed a selfie stick!

The astronauts took several photos of Earth that day. A cropped version of photo AS17-148-22727, known as "The Blue Marble," became one of the most famous images produced by the space program.

Taken from about 18,000 miles away, it shows Africa and the South Pole. 🧪 🔭

Photo AS17-148-22727 taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts when they were about 18,000 miles from Earth. The whole planet is visible, situated at the bottom of the photo and just to the right of center. The south pole is visible, though mostly covered by white clouds, as is the entirety of Africa and portions of the Middle East. Despite significant land and cloud cover the image deserves the name "Blue Marble," as the blue portions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans seem to dominate.

actually looked and found the photos from 17's photo catalogue, and the pictures are- so simple but so charming. looking through the photos they took is so endearing actually.
Apollo 17, photo number AS17-143-21938: a black and white, 1:1 photograph of the lunar surface. a single white stick-shaped object is visible high in the middle of the frame. Apollo 17, photo number AS17-143-21940: Continuation of the previous image, except now the object is gone, the camera is slightly tilted, and a distant little plume of dust is visible against the sky.

Along the Eastern margins of Mare Serenitatis the exposed lavas are quite blue compared to the highlands. Left: My initial tonal and color balancing attempting a visual impression. Right: the color over saturated to bring out the contrast between the local Maria and Highland hues. AS17-137-20886

Get out your red/blue glasses and check out this stereo view of another world. The scene was recorded by Apollo 17 mission commander Eugene Cernan on December 11, 1972, one orbit before descending to land on the Moon. The stereo anaglyph was assembled from two photographs (AS17-147-22465, AS17-147-22466) captured from his vantage point on board the Lunar Module Challenger as he and Dr. Harrison Schmitt flew over Apollo 17's landing site in the Taurus-Littrow Valley. The broad, sunlit face of the mountain dubbed South Massif rises near the center of the frame, above the dark floor of Taurus-Littrow to its left. Piloted by Ron Evans, the Command Module America is visible in orbit in the foreground against the South Massif's peak. Beyond the mountains, toward the lunar limb, lies the Moon's Mare Serenitatis. Four astronauts will venture around the Moon and back again on the Artemis II mission, scheduled for launch no earlier than September 2025.

Photos are never just photos

"Earthrise and AS17-148-22727 are unique as eyewitness photographs of the terracqueous globe. They are interpreted within a historical context of seeing and representation in which Western culture has consistently associated the globe with Christianity and imperialism."

My fellow geographers might remember this 1994 paper by Cosgrove, looking at the philosophical implications of two previous photos Earth photos from the Apollo flights.

Happy International Moon Day 🌕!

Did you know NASA’s modern return to the Moon started in the '90s? 🚀 The Clementine and Lunar Prospector missions were the first to suggest that water ice might be hiding at the lunar poles, changing how we view the Moon forever. #SpaceHistory #NASA #Moon

AS17-146-22294 (13 Dec. 1972) --- Scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt is photographed working beside a huge boulder at Station 6 (base of North Massif) during the third Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The front portion of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is visible on the left. This picture was taken by astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, Apollo 17 commander. Schmitt is the lunar module pilot. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Challenger" to explore the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.
