Why is it that when space agencies send anything to the moon, its never captured through a telescope on earth?

Is it because their lying maybe? Or what other reason could it be? Could it be that the moon is actually batmans light left on without the bat symbol?

    You need to watch the Soviet launch videos of the American astronauts while the Soviets are still providing ferry service to the ISS. Telescopes an earth have their schedules planned years in advance. Amateur telescopes do not. Join an astronomy club.

    WHY would that lie. When you lie, you destroy your own credibility. Look at what is happening to Trump.

    Objects that far away and small can not be visually resolved by any Earth bound telescope.

    If it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside we now have a moon orbiter that can resolve the darker dust astronauts left behind by their foot path disturbing the lighter dust  and moving it aside.  That was the 'Wow!' moment for me! Imaging of equipment  left behind didn't bring about an emotional moment for me!

    telescopes have a limit to what they can resolve. A manmade object at the Moon's distance is not within the capabilities of any telescope

    Moon is too far away and the objects are too small and the telescopes can see something that small. Not even hubble.

    Because the Moon is 250,000 miles away, and there is no telescope powerful enough to find an object a few feet wide on such a vast place.

    probably cause its too far away
