Frank, you said:
"First, the easy one, since I've written about images like this in movies and tv shows before: where would you have to be to see the Moon looking like this? Where and when was this photo of the Moon taken?"
Easy for some maybe. I think the poles are in about line with the line I have inserted in the attached image. I am struggling to see how this view of the moon could be seen from a terrestrial location and suspect it is an image from NASA taken from one of the Apollo missions - probably a well known image from Apollo 11 - here...
