Technically the First fps ever wasn't it?
Edit nope.

Close though
I had an interesting "chat" about themoon landing.

"Anything left on the Moon cannot be resolved in any Hubble image," According to the Space Telescope Science Institute, which operates Hubble for NASA. "It would just appear as a dot."

However, to contradict your conclusion I have one good point. For a while now, people have been able to buy telescopes powerful enough to see the moon's surface. If there was anything shocking someone would have seen it...

The astronauts did leave objects behind that can been seen from earth. Recently, physicists used the mirrors placed on the moon to validate Einstiens theory of Reletivity.

"Lunar laser ranging is one of the most important tools we have for searching for flaws in Einstein's general theory of relativity," says Slava Turyshev, a research scientist at JPL who works with Jim Williams and others on the project.
Their experiment is possible because, more than 30 years ago, Apollo astronauts put mirrors on the Moon - small arrays of retro reflectors that can intercept laser beams from Earth and bounce them straight back. Using lasers and mirrors, researchers can "ping" the Moon and precisely monitor its motion around Earth.
