Quoting Le Chief
I'm wondering how close to the surface of the moon that photo was taken.
Neil Armstrong stepped out the back door of the Eagle to take a whizz and said "Whoa, I gotta get me one of those"
And he took the pic.

It's from Apollo 8, so it has to be from orbit. It's something like 70 miles from the surface. Lagrange points are usually pretty far away ... by normal travel standards, anyway.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Yeah. To me it seemed like it was taken at head level from the surface but after closer inspection it actually looks pretty far off the surface of the moon (the surface doesnt look grainy/fine) hence why the Earth may appear small?
