Maybe scopes on the Moon will be considered as NASA's intended return to the Moon project gets underway. But I imagine that there would have to be a special mission specifically to place one on the Moon's surface. But I would also imagine that protection of the equipment would be a major task - wouldn't want a stray meteorite to demolish the whole effort, etc.
