Supposedly Apollo 11, 14, and 15 left reflectors too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_retroreflectors_on_the_Moon This feels testable.
They have tested bouncing lasers off of the moon since the 1950s long before reflectors.
The moon itself is a great reflector based on the moonlight seen at night, no additional equipment necessary.
You need a very powerful laser for that. If you aim at the reflectors you can user a much weaker laser and actually see when they line up based on the amount reflected. I saw a video on it before, believe it or not, I don't really care.
No, I believe in the power of lazors.
They’re there now but they weren’t put there on the Apollo missions. The surface will reflect naturally.
So moon dirt and reflectors have the same reflection? You guys are like in the boat and afraid to set sail for the great Ice Wall.
