Before we get started, this is not a flat earth/ globe earth debate. Just a simple observation.

But from the pdf linked I could not help but notice this...
Heritage of Heliophysics Science in Human Exploration
Inside - Apollo FUV Imaging of the Earth, 48
Mmm I thought, Uv of the earth., in 1965, using a black and white film? So I searched around and discovered these colourised images. Which are basically drawings, not photos.
Original image. Also. What are these dots suposed to be? Stars? Asteroids?
The S201-experiment 10-min exposure photograph in false colours to enhance differences in the brightness of the oxygen glow at different layers of atmosphere. For this photograph hydrogen emission was blocked so that only oxygen and nitrogen emissions were recorded. Oxygen atoms fluoresce under the solar UV radiation, and maximum concentration is shown in golden closest to the Earth’s surface. As it reduces with altitude, the colours become green and finally blue. On the Earth’s night side the gas shows blue in two intersect- ing arcs over the equator—the so-called equatorial FUV arcs (Hicks and Chubb 1970). In the South the polar aurora is seen. The photo- graphic number of the original black&white UV camera photograph is AS16-123-19657. Source: NASA

It appears there is nothing much to see at first glance, but if you rotate the image right, we get this...
Which instantly made me think of this.
Now, I don't beleive in a space program per se, we would have a genuine full image of the earth if it were possible, I am also Aethiest. I have no agenda other than the truth. But this seems a little to obvious to me, or am I joining dots which don't exist?
My guess here is just more in your face, we know the real condition of the realm in which we exist.
Thoughts?
