The Moon was first available on that site's Earth feature in July of 2009. The site chose to release that feature in honor of the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 situation.

The Earth.
One can purchase a number of DVD's about the moon from Amazon. Some DVD's that are available include Apollo 13, Moon Machine, and From the Earth to the Moon.
The Sky mode is Google Earth has all the planets of our Solar System and many galaxies. Enter Sky Mode in the View/Explorer menu then pick Sky. You can enter 'Saturn' into the Search text box. More impressive is the Mars and Moon mode where you can navigate a 3-D planet or moon and see "StreetView"-like imagery where available.
First the order is |Sun : Moon : Earth| and when the Moon is behind the Earth it is |Sun : Earth : Moon|, which would be a Lunar Eclipse.
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.
Sun first, then the earth and moon formed at the same time around 4.65ga (billions of years ago) when a large moon-sized planet collided with the proto-earth/moon system.
the cicle is new moon, waxing crescent,first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning cresent,then new moon again and so on so a first quarter moon is when you can't seehalf the moon.
Google satellites are closer to the Earth than the NASA satellites are to the moon. And those pictures are pretty good.
During a first quarter moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the Sun, meaning that half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by sunlight, which appears as a half-moon from Earth. This phase occurs roughly a week after the new moon and is part of the lunar cycle.
