That may be a bit difficult as there are no telescopes on earth that would be able to resolve the lander no less the rover on the moon.

The largest optical telescope on earth is the Canarias telescope and that has an aperture of 10.4 meters. Big, but not big enough. You would need an aperture of 100 meters even if one that big could be made, it would be pretty pricy.

So if you want to confirm the moon landings you will need some fricking lasers and even then the nutters will claim that it is just reflecting off of unmanned remains.

And no, the Hubble can't see it either.
