Can you see the lunar rover on the moon with a telescope?
The landers, rovers, and other junk left on the lunar surface by the astronauts are totally invisible. Using a bigger telescope won’t help much. You’d need a mirror 50 times bigger than Hubble’s to see the landers at all, and we don’t have a 100 meter telescope handy.
Can a laser hit the Moon?
The typical red laser pointer is about 5 milliwatts, and a good one has a tight enough beam to actually hit the Moon—though it’d be spread out over a large fraction of the surface when it got there. The atmosphere would distort the beam a bit, and absorb some of it, but most of the light would make it.
Can high-tech telescopes see the Moon landings?
In simple words, can high-tech telescopes (say, the Hubble Space Telescope) see signs and artifacts of the Apollo missions on the lunar surface and confirm if the Moon landings were real? Short answer: Theoretically, yes, but practically, no.
Can we see the Apollo 11 moon landing on the Moon?
Short answer: Theoretically, yes, but practically, no. It would take an incredibly powerful telescope to see signs of moon landings on the lunar surface, and even the best telescopes we have today are not remotely powerful enough to capture clear images of those signs.

How big of a telescope would it take to see the Moon?
Its length is 3.1 meters, so it would take a telescope 75 meters in diameter to spot it. Another element, the lunar lander base, along with the landing gear (which is 9.5 meters across) would require a telescope nearly 25 meters across to even barely represent it in a single pixel.
Where did the first astronauts land on the Moon?
This was the first landing in mountainous terrain, and allowed the astronauts to gather surface material from a much earlier time period in the moon’s history than was possible in the first four landings on the lunar maria. The actual landing site is just north of Descartes.
