01:53 Watch the grey strap on the left under the copper colored tubes. As he moves off the “spaceship,” watch as the strap is caught in a wind and blown straight up. There it continues to blow around in the wind the entire “spacewalk.”

The photo of the Earth @ 26:52 is improbable. The Earth has a diam. approx 13,000 kms / 8,000 miles so at the apogee height of 1,300 kms / 845 miles one would not be able to photo the entire face and curvature of the Earth. The trick would be to use a highly wide angle lens (almost 180°) but it wouldn't work if the photo was taken inside the capsule behind the window frame. Indeed, all photos which show a markedly curved earth are also suspect.
And the photo at 22:27 of the capsule/booster is suspect as the bright blue colored atmosphere of the Earth is being backlit by the sun, meaning the position of the sun is behind the Earth yet the capsule/booster is being illuminated by some secondary source of light from behind the camera.
