If google can record every inch of Earth with THEIR satellites,we should get be able to close ups of the moon,right? Or am I being redundit? Sorry if I am.

I don't think so, it's because of the distance between the earth and the moon its quite literally thousands of times the distance from the satellites to the earth.. We could do it if we had such a satellite in orbit around the moon but I think the stuff out there is old and much less advanced. The problem is that they don't have the right cameras at the right locations to do it right now. These are multi million dollar devices so they don't just use them to prove a point.
The real issue in my mind is why doubt it? The technology was clearly available, the undertaking was massive but they did spend a lot of time and energy on it.
