(apologies if this is a necro, but it's within the first page of the discussion board so I believe it's still reasonable to reply)
The way I see it, the substantiation of the claim that "these are images of the earth from 1 million miles away" is the video itself. It can be imagined as the first 'level' of evidence. If no effective refutal is made, then for all intents and purposes the statement can be considered true. To anyone to refutes it and claims "those images are fake", that is a seperate claim that requires its own proof. If such a claim can be demonstrated, such as showing the cameras won't be fuctional in that eviroment, or revealing how such images can be made from scratch, or even better showing the forgery being done, then that would be the next level of proof. If no effective refutal beyond that, then it can be considered fact that the images are fake. This continues until either side has no ability to refute the previous point.
So in my opinion, the video is proof until it's shown that it's not.
