Google Earth has a flight simulator but no "rocket mode". You can, however, change Earth to Mars, Moon, or a Sky mode to see other planets. The flight simulator still works on Mars and the Moon which is fun to try, but it is disabled in Sky mode.
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.

The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
As of Google Earth v5.0, you can see the surface of Mars and the Moon. It includes "Street View"-like imagery taken from lunar and Martian missions as well as videos from related landings. Change planet mode in the View menu under the Explore option or from a planet icon in the toolbar. Also, in Google Earth's Sky mode you can see photos of galaxies and stars from various astronomy databases.
We see a crescent moon.
We can see the moon because it reflects sunlight to Earth.
To see the Earth, look down. To see the Moon, you have to be outside and look at the sky. Note that the Moon is not always above the horizon.
