That doesn't explain anything about the equipment required for that transmission, nor the power required for that equipment. More places where we are missing the blueprints for technology that would be a new innovation if we could reproduce it today.

Even more than that, it ignores the explanation of how the footage we know and love today was created: because NASA’s equipment was not compatible with TV technology of the day, the original transmissions had to be displayed on a monitor and re-shot by a TV camera for broadcast.

So what we saw then, and what we have seen in all the footage ever released by NASA since then, were not in fact live transmissions. To the contrary, it was footage shot off a television monitor, and a tiny black-and-white monitor at that.

We got color eventually, but you can be the judge if that helps or hurts the legitimacy of these landings.
