Oh, this is old story. The same question was posed about the Hubble Space Telescope (HST):
Can Hubble see the Apollo landing sites on the Moon?
No, Hubble cannot take photos of the Apollo landing sites.
“An object on the Moon 4 meters (4.37 yards) across, viewed from HST, would be about 0.002 arcsec in size. The highest resolution instrument currently on HST is the Advanced Camera for Surveys at 0.03 arcsec. So anything we left on the Moon cannot be resolved in any HST image. It would just appear as a dot.”

The same principle applies for the JWST. This myth is based on misconceptions about how telescopes and light work. Feel free to read more about it here.
Haha thanks for the great laugh :D
as I said, the telescope is just TOO FUCKING GOOD
8000 light years away? no problem, here you get some high definition pictures of some nebula
1,3 light seconds away? FUCK HELL NO - the moon is a fucking complex thing which is not far enough away
^^
Yes, you can see objects at 8,000 light years away, but they're not the size of a truck, are they? They're incredibly massive, we can only see them at large scale. You can't see an object the size of a flag in those neubuli either, can you? If that was possible, then we would have high resolution pictures of Pluto already, its surface, etc. We would see pebbles on comets, dust particles on Mars. Your backyard telescope should see this.
In order to have the resolution you're demanding, you would need to build a telescope 60,000 more powerful than your eyes, and its size would be huge. Good luck with that.
It's infinitely easier to fake the moon landing than to violate the laws of physics, optics in this case. Science is not this kind of whimsical and nature is not this kind of magic.
Check out this video where someone with experience and knowledge on telescopes addresses something similar and gives the answer to this question.
what even is 1,3 light seconds compared to 8000 light years?
comes pretty close to the 60.000 ratio
it is easier for them to shoot pictures 8000 light years away and then send it from the telescope back, than hovering a drone around the telescope itself and filming the real deployment and sending that video back, instead of showing us some cheap ass animation like in video #1
thank you, I will look into ur video
