Default Is it possible to resolve lunar landing sites from an earth-based telescope?

A friend of mine are having a discussion about the new CCD to be installed at Cerro Tololo,
http://www.fnal.gov/pub/ferminews/fe...-05-01/p4.html
and he thought it could be used to resolve lunar landing sites.

I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work but it's the precise 'why' that has me puzzled. I'm sure atmospheric
dust would play a factor, but what about if this could be instaled in Hubble; would it even then be
possible?

Thanks for any insight youi can contribute to this,

Jon
