    There is no "up" and "down" in the universe. We see earth upward at the surface of moon, because of the same reason why we see moon in the upward direction at the surface of earth. You can't see downward because you are too small as compared to the moon. And when you stand on the surface of moon, the moon surface looks flat to you. Because of your small size, you will have to see the earth upwards (or not see it at all)
