Is it possible to point a telescope to the moon and confirm if devices from the lunar missions are there?
MCJEduardo asked:
Many things have been said about that men actually never got to the moon. With current technology, is it possible to point a telescope to the moon to those places where it is supposed man walked? Has this been done in the past? Are there any images out there? If not, with what kind of telescope would it be possible?
