Just to be clear on this: There is absolutely no justification for going to the moon just to take pictures of where we have already been. The only reasons for lunar survey are scientific or to better plan for lunar settlements. Aside from the cost, a "check up" would be irrelevent. The evidence that we landed is already overwhelming. Moon hoaxers would just say it was faked and everyone else would wonder why the money was wasted this way.
