Quote- "At the Moon's surface, the beam is about 6.5 kilometers (4.0 mi) wide[9] and scientists liken the task of aiming the beam to using a rifle to hit a moving dime 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) away. The reflected light is too weak to see with the human eye. Out of 1017 photons aimed at the reflector, only one is received back on Earth, even under good conditions."

So if the beam is 4 miles wide by the time it gets to the moon, what evidence do you have that it is the 2 foot wide mirror left by astronauts that reflected the 1 out of 1017 photons back, and not just the surface? The surface worked just fine to complete the same test 7 years before we supposedly went.

It's not a question of performance. It's evidence that man was on the moon.

How is it evidence if the same test worked 7 years before we supposedly went?

Are you asking how are the retroreflectors left on the moon by several Apollo missions evidence that we went to the moon?

Don't understand why you are trying to work a previous experiment into this discussion.

What evidence do you have that it's the mirrors that are reflecting the laser back to Earth? They were reflecting lasers back to Earth successfully before the Apollo missions, obviously without mirrors.
