That comes out to almost 20 million people. They left mirrors up there so we could use laser ranging to find out just how far away it is, and the measurements are down to an accuracy of within a centimeter.
On the subject, this is a photo of the Apollo 14 landing site taken by the LRO to help calibrate the cameras on its way to orbit
On the right side, there are two deep craters and a shallower one. Above and to the left of the shallower one is a white spot with a shadow pointing to the right. That's the lander. There are lines slightly darker than the surrounding soil going off to the left of those. Those are footprints. The white dot above the left end of them is a set of instruments, including some of the aforementioned mirrors.
