Does this look fake to anyone else?

The line between the stage set / floor and the front projection screen. Dubbed by some as the "Kubrick horizontal", since Kubrick perfected front projection for his film 2001 (and also for NASA?). You can see Kubrick horizontals in the majority of Apollo astronaut moon surface photos,
I don't think it's front screen projection. In the films where it's used the background looks significantly lower resolution than the foreground. I think it's more likely they built physical sets.
great doc
There's definitely differing qualities of front projection, but you may also be referring to back projection, which was the lower quality precursor to front projection. Back was low quality process and more limited - it could only be used on a relatively small screen background - and was still unconvincing. Front projection is more complicated and finicky a process. The technique was made possible by the new-at-the-time invention of scotchlite reflective fabric. It produced far higher quality results than back projection and could be used with a very large screen and hence display bigger backgrounds.
couple that with: many of these still shots were likely done with scale models rather than live actors (at about 1/8th scale), so then the front projection background will have an even higher focus/resolution/quality since the image can be projected onto a smaller screen.

Those are the articles of a Russian cinematographer and film school teacher explaining in detail how all the faked moon photos and films could be done - it's a fantastic series of articles, here's the home page:

Looks real enough to me. Where was it shot?
The soil is actually brown which is odd in these color photos. Compare to china rover photos
well...i have taken LOTS OF shots in photography through my life, and you can take shots that are on the high ground, and behind them is on a lower ground soo....it CAN look staged tbh.
not a good example :( sorry
Nice try NASA.
Well, of course they had to use fakery for the back, otherwise the alien artifacts would be in the shot.
For sure Kubrick's movie
Have you seen the close ups of the lander?
Yeah it looks like shit.
Yeah those shadows don’t really line up either do they? Looks as if the light is projected from between the two
