[i]I too wondered why everyone showed that in reverse, thinking it must have been due to carelessness early on in producing 'stock footage' for the media. But then I checked the flight plan, and saw that for such shots Collins fitted the 16mm camera sideways to the window and installed a 45-degree mirror, which reversed the image. So that's why it is reversed. Of course, what should have been done was that all such footage should've subsequently been reversed by NASA for release to the press to make it 'correct' - but they didn't.[/i]
