Can You Bounce A Laser Off The Moon?

Thomas W. Murphy,Associate Professor,Ph. D., https://physics.ucsd.edu/fac_staff/fac_profile/faculty_description.php?person_id=488 At the beginning of the call Thomas states that you can actually bounce a laser off the moon but returning light would be indiscernible to instrumentation. A statement that in fact contradicts this article... National Geographic Magazine December 1966 The Laser's Bright Magic by Thomas Maloy, Howard Sochurek.

Whatever the case, this issue is clearly being purposely misrepresented for propaganda purposes. As pedantic as scientist typically come across, they paradoxically seem very comfortable with members of their "community" making unequivocal and emphatic, yet scientifically incorrect,(false) declarations.(lies)
