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.
