Can’t they see with telescopes stuff left on the moon?

The tracks made by the lunar rover are visible with a powerful enough telescope, plus they left laser reflectors behind as well.

Not with a telescope. Is simply beyond the capability of any telescope built when you look at the resolution and magnification possible. Not really even close. The only view of the left behind things was done from a spacecraft. Those pics came out a year or two ago. And of course, if you don’t believe in the moon landing, you won’t believe a spacecraft sent to photograph the moon either.

I thought the moon mapping program which shows photo evidence of the Apollo landing sites pretty much had shut these whackos up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

“The ongoing Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment measures the distance between the Earth and the Moon using laser ranging. Lasers on Earth are aimed at retroreflectors planted on the Moon during the Apollo program (11, 14, and 15), and the time for the reflected light to return is determined.”
