Lasers allow for precise measurements.

If you think we can accurately hit a tiny reflective surface on the moon with a laser but cant see the landing site with a telescope you must be a shill because no one is that retarded. How can they aim it if they cant even see what they are aiming. Shills get dumber every day.

False premise. They know generally where the mirrors were placed (there is no lunar GPS per se) but then with the lasers as tight beams that can be directed and aimed at the mirrors.

And, yes, you can see the moon landing sites with the appropriate equipment.

Lunar orbiters are powerful enough to see the junk left behind, as well as the tracks of the rovers.

You can also see the spots where they landed, but not the junk they left behind with earth based telescopes, but only by comparing the spots on the moon from where they said the landed, before and after. Because the moon has no wind, and doesn't get struck much by debris, you can see the new "spots" on the surface.

The moon is very far away, it would take a very ,very powerful telescope to see something the size of car, like the rover.

Thanks for the laugh shill. Just aim a laser at a moving object you can't see lol

Moon rock already acts as a mirror for sunlight, or so are we told.

Your car windshield also reflects sunlight but you get better reflection off a mirror. It’s about precision and having the right tool for the job, and not using something that works kinda okay for it.

So you agree that we can bounce a laser off the surface of the Moon, even without a reflector placed there?

Bounce it off, sure. Are you going to get the return back at the angle you need for proper measurements without a known flat angle to bounce back against? Doubtful. The moon is kinda big, if you haven’t looked at it. Hitting the mirror precisely is hard enough, adding in hitting the exact same patch of rock time and time again adds needless complexity.

Moon rock reflecting light, like virtually every other matter, doesn't mean they act like a mirror works like a mirror. Otherwise, we would use rocks when combing our hair in the morning. Plus, they know exactly where the mirrors are.

Lasers lose focus with distance. You can use a laser at a short distance with a lower power laser, making your cat chase it, as it reflects off the floor. Trying to reflect laser light off the moon would require a very powerful laser, or something more reflective to hit it with, like a mirror, because the moon is very far away.

The sun, being very very bright, is capable of putting out light that reflects off rocks.

They know exactly where those mirror are, but placing a man on the Moon they can not?

Your sentence reads like Yoda wrote it. What exactly are you saying?
