    After all the major point of this was to show Russia off, and it worked.
    There is still equipment on the moon you can see with a telescope and no camera in the 1960s had the capability to fake such a hoax:

    This is not quite true. You can see the natrually formed valley where they worked on the moon, however the equipment left behind is so small in comparison, that it was only in 2011 that an luna orbiting satellite (LRO) was able to spot the equipment.

    If you explore the Apollo landing sites with a small telescope, you won’t be able to see any of the objects left behind by the astronauts, as they are all too small to be resolved by even the largest telescopes. In fact, it's only in the last two years that we’ve been able to photograph the landing sites in detail from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

    For some reason, this image won't show for me. Could you remove everything that isn't part of the src"=..." in your page source? like the border and the alt?
