The image shows the planet Earth in the upper half and a flag on Moon terrain in the lower half. Sorry for the lack of clarity, the lower half is kind of lazily done and relies on imagination. I also struggled a bit making recognizable contours against black background.

I didn't figure out this one. Not even after reading the title.
The title reminded me of a very famous sportsman (in my country, known globally also) He made a _very_ late night phone call to his friend:
"Where are you?" and continued "Am I there also?"
The thumbnail mad the image very clear. What a masterpiece!
Thank you, Jelito!

Glad for the comments on this one so I could interpret it. Now that I "get" it, it's fantastic with so much detail and story packed into such a small image. Way to go!

A little step for man, a huge step for the humanity.

You got me curious if somehow that was the result if you translated Neil Armstrong's line into another language and then translated it back into English. But I was quite surprised to find that when using online Spanish translators it didn't garble the line at all.

According to some people I know, this image is fake, because the Earth is flat and man has never been to the moon... lol...

I'm not sure if this was the author's intention, but that's why I thought the title was particularly clever. Because obviously the whole reason they planted a flag when arriving was from the human-exploration tradition of saying "I was here" - also a phrase popular with people writing on the walls of bathroom stalls.
But obviously there is a segment of the population who refuses to accept that humans did actually land on the moon in '69, despite the fact that there is ample evidence that it happened, including the reflectors left by Apollo 11 (among others) that have been used for years to track the expanding distance from there to here.
My favorite smack down on the 'moon-landing conspiracy theorists' though, was from Stephen Fry on an episode of QI, where he pointed out that if there was ANY indication that the US had faked the landing, the Soviet Union would've found out and shouted it to the entire world. :)

Well, I trasleted it from the official translation used here, but after I write the comment I wonder if it was OK. I've never heard the expression in English. Do you know it? If you do, I'll be grateful if tell it me. Thanks.

That's one small step for [a] man; one giant leap for mankind.
People seem to disagree on whether that's "man" or "a man". But the National Air and Space Museum, where Neil Armstrong's space suit is displayed, says that after extensive analysis of the recording they have determined that there is no "a".

Excellent use of negative space. I didn't realize what I was doing until the last few clicks.

The earth is flat. NASA is a lie. We never went to the moon. Look it up, you've been lied to.

If humans didn't list prayer time based on sun movement observation in every single city in the world, I might have believed that NASA, which is not religious organization, have managed to monopolize 100% of data about sun, moon, and star movements. Why do you believe it's just NASA who have the data?
