What's wrong with this picture?

Starting with choosing CO2 as your breathing gas, and the fact that
the
Sun shines on the Moon from a different direction than it does on
Earth.
:-D

How do you figure they are using CO2? Also peep that rock next to the
landed rocket and between the astronauts feet, the shadow seems to be
on the same side as that on the earth. Maybe the illumination of the
astronaut is due to the highly reflective moon soil = )

All i see is that the rocket is a bit too small for the astronaut, the
grounded dude has a knife (maybe so he can cut himself out, if he got
stuck in some kelp)... and besides man can never break the ties of
earth as gravity theoretically spans out for ever and ever... and ever.

CO2 fire extinguishers are red with a black band IIRC.

I checked the gas color code- CO2 is gray; CO2 for fires is overall red:

Gas pressure tanks have a uniform set of color codes to show what gas
they contain; red is carbon dioxide, green is oxygen.
but that's only the start of this poor guy's problems- his CO2 tank
doesn't have a pressure regulator on it, or even a valve for that
matter....he is going to inflate his suit like a balloon.

The illumination varies in different parts of the picture; on the
astronaut it seems to be coming almost straight down, which, looking at
the Earth, would mean the sun is shining down on the Moon from somewhere
near the North Star; you could maybe make this work with a
Earth-centered cosmos, though. Also note the small crater that appears
to be full of molten lava to the left of where the ship has landed,
suggesting that this might not a safe area of the moon.

Though apparently not to that ship over his head, which is either: A.)
In a _very_ low lunar orbit. B.) Falling to destruction on the Lunar
surface while the EVA'ing astronaut gives a thumb's-up gesture. Of
course it might be able to start its motors, but then the astronaut on
EVA had better have jam in his pockets, as he is about to become toast.
:-D

....which reminds me of when I worked for (UK mobile phone network provider)
BT Cellnet, who rebranded themselves as 'O2'.

The zealous rebranding exercise extended to corporate signage, stationery,
etc. In the building I was based in, it even included attaching 'O2'
stickers to black fire extinguishers that had previously been marked 'CO2'.

Neat.

This could have been an interesting idea if they changed the gas to O2
also...shooting either CO2 or O2 at the fire might well shorten its
overall duration... albeit in two entirely different ways.... :-D
