re: Lunar Laser Ranging
In 2000, I visited the Calern plateau near Grasse (provence, France) where the CERGA has an observatory. From there, Laser beams are being aimed at the various reflectors on the Moon.
I made the remark to our guide (Laurent Journet who was in charge of the telescope) that your experiment is the living proof that men did actually land on the Moon!
We all laughed briefly thinking about those who simply won't accept it.
