Actually, I think the plane was not close to the moon at all... and strongly suspect it was still in the Earth's atmosphere

Nice piccy just the same!

BTW don't know about the Embraer's but a little known fact is:

If you could produce the same thrust *at altitude* in an A380, as you can at sea level, there is more than enough power to make orbit.
