I personally worked with and knew a man who was awakened in the middle of the night by a call from Apollo 11 while it was in lunar orbit. He had built the instrument cluster in the LEM and he was called to resolve a problem.
Television cameras and VHF video communications were well established by the ‘60s.
Riddle me this, how did the laser corner reflector come to be on the surface of the moon.
“You better get an education before you come up in here, you piece of monkey crap...”
You were always able to bounce off signals from the moon, there are official army projects talking about bouncing radio off the moon to directly communicate to areas otherwise impossible. BTW this was before the moon landing of course.
No kidding! As an amateur radio operator, I know that two-way VHF communications have taken place via the earth-moon-earth signal path since 1960. Laser moonbounce has been done for decades as well. Elementary signature analysis can easily discern between laser return from the lunar surface versus that from a corner reflector.
