something i've never bothered to research...
fact: the hubble telescope cannot (because of distance resolution) photograph the landing site.
yet, we left something reflective on the moon surface that we are capable of accurately bouncing light off of, even while the moon is busy hauling ass in orbit? also, isn't the moon itself reflective enough to use for this purpose?

Hubble was meant to look at stars, so yeah. It isn't a spy sat.

Lasers, diffraction.
Not that I bothered doing any research either.

i would think it would be difficult to hit something as big as a lake with a laser at 240k miles, let alone something that would fit in a rocket.
