People say we faked the moonlanding --are there any documented telescope pictures (from the times of the moonlandings) from earth of the craft on the moon? In my totally ignorant opinion, I would think with a professional quality telescope even an amateur would be able to make out the shuttle orbiting the moon (or something orbiting the moon)

Lil help?

I don't think there is a telescope that has that much resolving power.

we put mirrors there. they reflect lasers back. that way we can measure precisely how quickly the moon is moving away from idiots who think we faked the moon landing.
