No, all you need is a modified telescope. You align your laser source with the optical axis you are viewing with, place a photon detector in the return path, modulate the laser with a simple AM modulator, use the detector to pick up the same AM frequency. Then you aim the telescope at the moon and turn things on. The use of a modulated laser ensures you know it's your output beam you are receiving. A high school science fair kid could in theory build one of these setups.
I agree totally with you about the nature of the NYT though.
I did not downvote you. We know what tribe does that of course.
According to this article, they've only successfully performed the laser test two or three times in the last 10 years.
Also, there's no evidence of private citizens being able to test this out.
It seems like NASA knows they are losing credibility and are trying to come up with more "evidence" of the fake moon landing.
And where better to plant fake evidence than in the Jew York Times, which is staffed with CIA and MOSSAD to spread disinformation.
