When Roy arrives on the moon he's told the moon is nearly full (seen from the Earth). So (seen from the Moon), the Sun should be nearly behind Earth, making Earth nearly dark in shadow (aka "new") and visible only near sunset/rise. Instead during the rover trip the Earth appears about two-thirds illuminated, and thus (seen from Earth) the Moon should be about one-third illuminated (relative phases are in opposition), and the moon scene's drop shadows are consistent with this.
