Handheld or tripod based telescopes may not be able to see the moon landing debris....but I find it strikingly odd that this couldn't. These have no problem seeing the space station, or shuttle, or asteroids that pass between the earth and moon

The ISS is 254 miles away.
The moon is 238,900 miles away.
That’s 940x farther.

Those are much larger objects and are much closer. For objects on the moon (~240K miles or 1,267,200,000 ft away), that mostly measure in the single digits of feet in terms of size, requires a lot more magnification.

Some rough gorilla math equates this to being able to see something roughly an inch in diameter from almost 2,000 miles away here on earth.

I'd think the earth's atmosphere would be a big factor in how much detail a ground based camera would be able to resolve accurately.

-edit- met the man several times on one day, a super high-energy dude who oozed confidence. I worked at the place he was giving a talk. At the time, a friend of his, Mark, I think (a comedian) was giving a talk in one studio. Buzz asked me (on the second time I saw him) to tell Mark that while he was in town, he'd be staying with 'Spike.' I found Mark and said this, Mark had already guessed as much.

A day later I wondered how Mark could hang with these guys without being named after a haircut.

Not to mention reception be it electrical or radio. My uncle on a few occasions didn't get any feed back from the Sats that he was suppose to keep an eye on as if anything happen then NASA would be on the bill with the USAF and CIA!!! Yeah he was that guy that always made sure the birds was over such and such a place and the solar panels was giving enough juice to the on board systems. Without those feedbacks he couldn't say they was there or they was 100% operational. It was due to some sever solar flares and storms and so no communications was happening from the ground to the Sats, it took 72 hours before comms was restored after all the fireworks stopped hammering the upper atmosphere. But he still will not tell me what type of Recon Sats he was working with, I still think KH-11 and 12's but until he says anything I could keep guessing
