We installed a mirror up there to bounce lasers off and measure exact distance of the moon.

These days, you could also use a telescope to see the tracks and gear that was left.

Was that to easy?

Earthbound telescopes can't see that stuff, it's just too small. Atmospheric distortion would probably make it impossible to see from the ground. A telescope in low earth orbit would theoretically be able to see them, but current technology (at least the kind that's unclassified) doesn't quite have the resolution. The Hubble misses it by just a little bit.

But spacecraft in lunar orbit can get fine pictures like the ones I posted above.

No, you cannot see tracks and gear left on the moon. Even if the photo is legit it’s too grainy to know what you’re actually looking at.
