Unless someone builds a Telescope with a 500 foot wide lens, with visible light, it is impossible to see the landing sight, but with Radar, should be possible to image it from earth.

Even then, I think atmospheric distortion would still make it impossible to get the resolution necessary to see the landing craft or any of the tracks, no?

With favorable geometry - the right angles and variation in angle over time - yes, with wideband processing and sensitive enough receivers you *should* be able to make pretty good images. I don’t have time to do the math, but my guess would be you could beat the 16 or 17 foot pixel resolution of optical equipment.
