Question
Is it possible to point the Hubble space telescope at the Apollo landing sites on the Moon, to prove that man did indeed go to the Moon?
The Hubble Space Telescope cannot photograph the Moon because it is too bright and would saturate the detectors. In addition, the Apollo landers themselves are too small to be resolved by the Hubble. But what would be the point anyway? No informed person can doubt that we went to the Moon, based on a vast amount of information ranging from the returned samples to the Apollo astronauts themselves. Anyone who does not understand or believe the ample evidence at hand would be unlikely to believe HST data either and would no doubt claim that the photos were faked.
