This is actually quite easy to answer, Im surprised no one mentioned this.

When we went to the moon, the samples we brought back revealed that a lot of the material analyzed is made of the same stuff from the earth.

This theory formed as a result of that data.

That makes sense. But how did they get this video footage of it from way back then?

It's public record, it was a personal account of the event. Video footage used to be extremely high quality until humans started doing things.

I assume it's royalty free or is galactic copyright law a bit different?

Depends on if the person who filmed it has been dead for 70 years or not.
