Tl;Dr for me, whats the proof?
No real proof either way. Until we go back.
We can prove it today. Just look at the Moon and see the remaining lander stages. They have been photographed by recent lunar probes. Or look through a telescope. Or send and receive a signal from the laser retroreflectors that were left behind for that purpose.
Why would going back change anything? If one is willing to declare the original astronauts were liars, it is just as easy to claim that any returning astronauts are liars. If one is unwilling to examine the remaining evidence (landers, retroreflectors), it is just as easy not to examine any confirmatory evidence (photos, souvenirs). Our problem is not about knowing. It is about not wiling to know.
There are no telescopes powerful enough to see the apollo lander stages. But thanks for weighing in u/DeathRayDesigner
I looked it up. You are right; I relent. But they can be seen and photographed by lunar orbiters and that has happened. Here is Apollo 11 as seen by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/apollo-landers-seen-on-the-moon/ You are welcome.
