Yep, it sure is. So are the footprints and everything else they left there. Because there's no atmosphere or wind there's no erosion, so they'll be there for millions of years.

The flag, the lunar rover etc are all still there, but you can't see them with your telescope, or any earth-bound telescope, or even hubble. They just don't have the resolution required to probe that deep.

You'd need a resolution of about 10 metres to see the lunar rover, but even hubble can only resolve down to about 90 metres.

One day they might build one big enough to see it, that would be waaay cool.
