re: You're kidding, right?
Trust me, ET and I are not angry with each other all we have is a difference of opinion on how dangerous lunar dust is.
If he comes up with something that proved my concerns wrong I will willingly accept it and move on.
Actually, I was hoping you would say there was some way to use a laser to rule out extreme atmospheric distortions when using a retroreflector. Maybe pointing it at a satellite to see how distroted the reflected beam is or something like that. So at least one variable could be isolated out of the possible problems with their use. I think knowing for sure they have or have not degraded would be useful information. Before we have to send a robot to look at them.
