Neil Armstrong states he never saw stars either on the way to the moon
You failed to address that point because it's inconvenient.
There's artefacts suggesting photo editing all over those images you provided. You must be a complete novice in graphic design if you can't see that. In which case why would i waste my time debating someone who can't see the obvious.
a grand total of 1 picture of the Earth from the lunar surface.

Nope, 1000s of images of rocks and dust, featureless landscapes and boot prints

Mike Collins never stepped foot
You would see a sky full of stars even in daylight on the moon due to it's lack of atmosphere.
Can you come up with the roll, pitch, and yaw angle for the substellar point on this star? It's our second star.

"It should be pointed out that as we reach new Moon, earthshine becomes a factor. Someone on the Moon sees a “full Earth” when we see a new Moon. As seen from the Moon, our Earth would look about 100x brighter than our full Moon. This is because of the Earth’s larger size and higher albedo. Imagine being on the Moon and seeing a full earthrise at magnitude –17.7, with earthlight dimly illuminating and casting shadows on the lunar scenery."
Hardly matches the photo evidence.

You think the moon is covered with desert sand and therefore should react the same? Come on use google for once.

No, the moon supposedly has no water. Without moisture how is the dust on the moon contouring to the details of the bootprint? Dry dirt or dust can not contour to the details of a bootprint, only wet dirt can.

Wow, you're actually talking absolute nonsense now. I just provided you a video of Armstrong stating he never seen stars even in cislunar space. Mike Collins states "i don't remember seeing any". Not sure what mental gymnastics you've had to work through to come up with this convoluted excuse.
Houston, it's been a real change for us. Now we are able to see stars again and recognize constellations for the first time on the trip. It's - the sky is full of stars. Just like the nightside of Earth. But all the way here, we have only been able to see stars occasionally and perhaps through the monocular, but not recognize any star patterns.

Sand is similar to moon dust in that it is a granular material of finely divided rock and mineral particles. Probably the most analogous material we have in abundance.
Lunar soil is the fine fraction of the regolith found on the surface of the Moon. Its properties can differ significantly from those of terrestrial dirt.

I doubt that at 1/6th Earth gravity there would be enough compressive force to compact dirt into these grooves while maintaining solid walls.
