If there were men on the Moon, on a night with ideal meteorological conditions - could you see those men with a relatively inexpensive amateur telescope?
Wow, I figured at worst someone would say we’d need to go to that telescope in Hawaii or something.

At what distance between the Earth’s outer atmosphere and the Moon would a land based telescope lose sight of Moon bound space craft? 25% of the way? 5% of the way?
