Why do astronauts not see stars when in space?

Earth's atmosphere makes stars twinkle when seen and according to scientists stars should be seen in different colors when viewed in space.

I've never thought much about it really.....:)

What proof do you have of that? None? I thought so.

The proof is in the pudding! Too many inconsistencies, too much strange behaviour from all the astronauts in interviews. It all adds up. They’re all freemasons too, and we know that they’re all about secrets and deception This post was edited by Gypsyking at June 3, 2018 7:51 AM MDT

So you say. That's not proof of anything.

I don’t need to prove anything. The proof is in the pudding! Only a fruitcake would swallow all the nonsense that they feed people. It’s down to them to prove to us the things that they claim

They are lying about something if not everything. Its up to us to figure out what then why.

OK, if you want to be paranoid and look for conspiracies.

Okay I want to be righteous and search for truth. Do not be a lover of lies or risk being put under a strong delusion to continue believing in lies so you will be damned. This post was edited by O-uknow at June 3, 2018 11:43 AM MDT

OK, here's some truth: The sun is a star. The sun is visible in space. Ergo, stars are visible in space. Ergo, you and the entire premise of your question are wrong. Case closed.

We don't see stars in Earth's daylight sky because light from the Sun is scattered in the atmosphere. As you said the Moon has no atmosphere so you must be suggesting light reflected from the surface somehow prevents light from stars being seen. What other reason do you have for why the astronauts also reported not seeing stars on the way and back? This post was edited by O-uknow at June 3, 2018 7:24 AM MDT

It is light up but it looks like a dark (black night sky) because the moon has no atmosphere. 

It can't be lit up because by definition there is nothing to light up. We see things because of reflected light. Nothing above the Moon to reflect light so it just travels outward not returning. What stops light from above reaching the surface even though the surface is lit? Are you suggesting light cancels light when going in opposite directions?

No, it can't be because if light canceled light then you could not see the Earth from the Moon. Why can you see the Earth from the Moon but not the stars?

As I said in my answer, if stars weren't visible in space, what would be the point of using space telescopes?

What is the point of astronauts claiming to have seen none if they are visible in space? I've seen the interviews and heard their descriptions. Do diligence and hear them too then come back protect, deflect and defend.

Astronauts do not claim they cannot see the stars.  They say they can. 
Pictures are a different story  the camera cannot focus on both the stars and the object. 
Here is a link explaining..(which I have not been doing very well)

Wrong, the most famous one did.

Here is a good discussion on the topic. Has to do with the sun position, location of brightest stars, and location of the astronauts.
