The Moon is 384,403 kilometres from the Earth, give or take a bit. The modules left on the Moon might be 3.84 metres across, say 13 feet.
That is 1 part in 100 million. At one kilometre an object is a million millimetres away, and you would be looking for something a hundredth of a millimetre across for a comparison to the modules on the Moon.
By contrast, a typical galaxy might be 200,000 light years across and 200 million light years away. That is one part in a thousand, which is a lot easier to handle. Andromeda is about 220,000 light years across and about 3.8 million light years away, one part in about 17.3. So it looks fairly big from here.
Too many people, including hundreds of non-US citizens worked on the Apollo project for a fake to have been kept a secret for 38 years. Too many other countries could have radar tracked the Apollo capsules on at least part of the way to the Moon and some of them probably did. Too many radio engineers and even amateurs could have tracked the capsules by its radio transmissions and intercepted transmissions from the Moon.
This site is devoted to the mostly Australian men and women at the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station in Australia which received some of the Apollo transmissions. You can hear one man talking directly to the astronauts on the Moon.

The assertion that the Apollo missions were fakes is a lie. fake

From the Mercury program, to Gemini, Apollo, Space shuttle, the Hubble, the fixing of the Hubble, and the Voyagers, why 6% of the people think about a hoax just for the Apollo program?. There are photos of the hiden side of the Moon, photos of the Earth from the Moon, photos of the planets and satellites, and photos of the man in the Moon. Why no think that all is a lie?. The satellites' photos of the cities, and the TV signal coming from Japan or Europe is a lie? What is true and what is lie?
1►To resolute an imagen so far, the object must be 50 times larger than the descent module.
2►The Moon speed is about 2700 Km/Hr. To see a point in the Moon, the telescope must track this speed.

It was probably just passing the earth and was trapped by it's gravitational pull, this is usually the way it happens with low - high mass relationships in space. here's the rest : I found this part on a website: The reason for the increase is that the Moon raises tides on the Earth. Because the side of the Earth that faces the Moon is closer, it feels a stronger pull of gravity than the center of the Earth. Similarly, the part of the Earth facing away from the Moon feels less gravity than the center of the Earth. This effect stretches the Earth a bit, making it a little bit oblong. We call the parts that stick out "tidal bulges." The actual solid body of the Earth is distorted a few centimeters, but the most noticable effect is the tides raised on the ocean. Now, all mass exerts a gravitational force, and the tidal bulges on the Earth exert a gravitational pull on the Moon. Because the Earth rotates faster (once every 24 hours) than the Moon orbits (once every 27.3 days) the bulge tries to "speed up" the Moon, and pull it ahead in its orbit. The Moon is also pulling back on the tidal bulge of the Earth, slowing the Earth's rotation. Tidal friction, caused by the movement of the tidal bulge around the Earth, takes energy out of the Earth and puts it into the Moon's orbit, making the Moon's orbit bigger (but, a bit pardoxically, the Moon actually moves slower!).

No, there aren't any. Not even the Hubble Space Telescope can zero in on the hardware left on the moon. One reason HST can't see that stuff is because the moon moves so fast across the sky that HST can't lock onto the coordinates long enough.

No telescope is big enough. But if you want evidence, how about several hundred pounds of Moon rocks in Houston, some of which are loaned out for display in various museums around the world.

As the others have said, no it is not possible to see the decent stages. Each mission left a laser reflector on the surface and scientists here on Earth still use them on a regular basis to measure the Moon's distance.

No, not by a longshot. But they're still there and it's only a matter of time before they're discovered again.
