Many of [[Agencies/NASA|NASA's]] videos are subject to CGI animation, models, and augmented reality. The better technology gets, the harder it will be to determine if it's real or an elaborate fake. Fortunately there's plenty of older [[Agencies/NASA|NASA]] videos out there that are clearly fakes to help you realize they aren't trust-able.
For now, you just have to train your eye to look for these subtle computer generated characteristics. Going forward, you may have to rely on computational forensics. Basically computational forensics is a combination of applied trigonometry with the appropriate programming skills to run analysis on the subject matter (photo or video).

Deep fakes are a relatively new kind of video, which is generated by computer AI. Multiple photos of a person are given to the AI, and the computer will analyse the images and apply them to an existing video. The person in that existing video will then be replaced by the person in the photos. The quality of the deep fakes have been getting better and better. YouTube has many examples of this “face swapping” technology, and it raises quite a few concerns.
