Likely the cause of this is the normal "camera filming a camera" issues that happen in videos.

You should look into HDR Ghosting and Merge Artifacts, Rolling Shutter Artifacts, Exposure Compensation Washout issues amongst some others.

Bottom line, it is very possible for bright objects (the orange suits) to disappear in a recording of a recording, which is what this is. It's the same thing that makes LED lights blink and causes wheels or propellers to seemingly switch direction in videos.
It can't simply be from "a camera filming a camera." You can clearly see in the screen of the woman's phone, the person standing in front of her in the audience is visible, while the astronauts are not visible whatsoever.
If it was an issue due to their orange jumpsuits, then you would be able to see their heads floating, but their heads and bodies are not present. They aren't wearing LEDs and they are not rotating at high speed, so I don't think those issues are relative to this video.
The wildest part is you can see the same details in the background and other members of the audience on multiple phones, simultaneously, while there is no trace of any astronauts in orange jumpsuits.
It all screams "Central Casting" greenscreen production with hired crisis actors for the audience.
It makes sense that they would just produce the entire Artemis II hoax with Central Casting and greenscreens; when they mix it up and do some shots with greenscreens and some without, it likely increases the difficulty of keeping the "astronauts" out of public view... just like that Family Guy clip, where Neil Armstrong walks off the set and is spotted; they love to mock...
In case you are still unconvinced that NASA uses greenscreens and Central Casting, check out this video chock-full of evidence provided by someone with professional experience using greenscreens and special effect.

Sorry, can't buy it. If they were going to all this trouble, they would have just walked them out the door (or on another part of the stage) to get the shot. Using greenscreen would be way more complicated then necessary.

That's the problem with most of this, it is literally, scientifically, budgetarily and mentally easier to just go to the Moon than it is to fake it convincingly and keep it a "well-guarded secret" for 60 years, even using 1960's analog technology.

Good to see Starship was able to limp its way to orbit finally. I say limp because it made it there with engine out issues on both stages but it was overpowered enough to compensate. So rather than flawless execution we'll go with perfectless execution.

It will be interesting to see why they decided to bring it down early as well. It was planned for 10 orbits but they went with the backup not quite 2 orbits.

Well, here we have Sean Duffy openly saying that NASA astronauts are "right out of Central Casting..."



I recommend doing a bit of research on Central Casting and what they specialize in.

I recommend you review the standard idiom "from central casting" to mean someone represents the stereotypical "something" as if casting for a movie. "Central Casting" is used in the phrase because it has been around about as long as the movie industry itself. That is how the phrase is used here, but I suspect you already know that.

It doesn't help the case that this clip is not about "the Artemis moon program" as claimed but is about the Crew 11 flight to the ISS on 8/1/2025. This is clearly stated in the video when Duffy uses both "127th mission to the ISS" and uses the names "Mike and Zena". The astronauts for Artemis II were Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Hammock-Koch and Jeremy Hansen.

Well, here we have the Artemis II crew experiencing a couple CGI glitches. The string attached to the toy keeps passing through solid objects; it is especially obvious when the string goes right through Christopher Hammock Koch's arm.
These clowns are definitely Central Casting, just like all of the others before them.

This one has been shot down by so many independent sources I'll let you do the research. If you're satisfied it is as explained here, then I have no level of confidence you can be convinced otherwise.

As they say never let the truth get in the way of a good story (or your clickcount).

You're going to have to throw me a bone here; I've never seen the claim made in the video I posted get "shot down." Please provide evidence, as I clearly saw the string go through Christopher's arm. The video I posted even has time stamps, so you can verify that it is unedited video straight from NASA's feed, not the bait CNN put out with the letters showing through the toy to lure people into their little trap. Telling me to "do my own research" makes it seem like you don't have any evidence on hand to refute the video, but you are hoping that CNN and NASA's collaborative psy-op will counter all evidence of manipulation of the object in question.

It's essentially the same as the "disappearing astronaut" explanation. It's an artifact of recording a show off a TV with a cell phone camera. There are a lot of anomalies that show up because of it because of various timing and chromatic effects.

In this case, the "double recording" resulted in the loop around the top of the toy merging with the edges of the spacesuit to make it appear to "disappear" behind the arm.

Persons reviewing the original footage have shown that the artifact didn't exist in the original broadcast, just as the CNN green screen error causing the text behind the ball doesn't show.

Now, of course any of this could be faked, heck I could do it at home with Pinnacle Studio. The same is also true for the contridictory "evidence".

Ultimately whichever side you fall on, you have to accept some of it on faith. The difference being is the science and math show that it is very possible to travel to space, where as there is no true proof we cannot.
