Could you see people 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 we build a telescope on the moon?

The Hubble Space Telescope (and soon the James Webb Space Telescope) can peer back in time to the first stars and galaxies.
