Go to that link for a detailed, scientific answer as to why we cannot see it. The simple answer is we are way too far away !...........I'm sorry, but I am an astronomy major and the statement that we could not even see it with the hubble telescope is completely untrue. However, the answer is NO, you cannot see it from Earth, even with a powerfull telescope.

No. The flag is far too smal for even the largest telescopes to see. Even the Apollo landers are too small. The smallest objects that we can see from the earth using the Hubble telescope are boulders or craters many metres across. Hopefully, when telescopes get even bigger, and when we have better observation satellites orbiting the moon, we may have success then.

Depends where you are with with the telescope. If you are on Earth, technically because you can point the telescope at the ground and you can see Earth, but to be scientific, no.
