Also, considering when the moon landings were, there were ANY number of countries that would have loved to have discredited us. Those people were watching the missions occur with large telescopes at the time. Guess what - they didn't yell "FAKE! FAKE!" at the time. Many people were watching the landings through powerful private telescopes while they were happening as well. Amateurs could even pick out the orbiter against the moon with even moderately powerful personal telescopes.

You *can* still pick out the remains of the missions on the surface with an observatory 'scope. Try your local university.

Only the corner reflectors. There is not an optical telescope made that can resolve lunar artifacts.
