Can you look at the surface of the moon with a telescope or not?
Sure you can see the surface of the Moon. What you can't see is stuff that is essentially no bigger than a large car, which is the largest that any man-made thing was that got left behind.

I've never really thought about it before. Where the fuck are all the pictures of what could arguably be biggest achievement of mankind.
Reason One: A certain lack of cameramen. Two men were on the moon at a time, and they were quite busy. It's amazing how many pictures there are, in fact.
One reason you may keep seeing the same 10-20 pictures is because those are the pictures that the Hoax believers have found apparent 'anomalies' in!
like space agency doesnt have tech and resources to get there now.
Erm, but they
don't. If they had a fleet of 20 shuttles, plus an assortment of other non-reusable rockets for manned flight, plus a completed space station capable of assembling launching large spacecraft on deep space missions, then just
maybe. As it is, the Shuttle is pretty much stuck in the design configuration completed around 1975, and unlike any other kind of transportation you can think of, they haven't even been building its replacement during the decades that the current vehicle has been in use. They haven't even started
now, when the Shuttle's retirement has been fixed in a way that actually imperils the completion of the ISS!
To get to the moon Werhner Von Braun built the Saturn V, the most powerful rocket in human history. The few left (and they're only left over because of Apollo's cancellation) are antique museum pieces, and it would take a huge effort to recreate their power and reliability (not one of them failed, something else that's unique to the Saturn V).
Resources are the one thing that Nasa absolutely does
not have unlimited amounts of. That's why all manned spaceflight stops for
two to two and a half years when one of them crashes.
Could someone explain to me why it is that moon.google picture makes it look like all the landings were in one large maria?
