9. Those were probably just replays called "Earth Views".

The NASA satellites, called TDRIS satellites are 24,000 miles up. You would actually be able to see the entire earth from that altitude with no problem. To my knowledge, there is no video footage from either TDRIS. But there is tons of stuff from shuttle, and now ISS.

NASA used to run "Earth Views" all the time during non-mission times. You're right about that.
