Laser off the Moon

Dec 03, 2006 8 Replies

Because I'm a Ham Radio operator, I know that I can bounce radio signals off the moon. Not knowing that much about lasers, I was wondering what would be the minimum strength and at what frequency would it take to reflect a laser beam off the mirror on the moon? Has anyone other than NASA accomplished this? Can an amateur do it? Thank you.

Oh my God... are you saying that the Apollo astronauts were all - WOMEN!?

Like in that old "Matt Helm" movie? Man, that Dean Martin could act...

This crap is getting cross posted all over the place which means every time you reply you are causing more wackos to polute our group. Please ignore, filter out messages in this thread. A tip for spotting them - they commonly originate from Minh.

This is only going to rmr (I hope)

It helps insulate us from South African posts.

Back to recycling this tired, oft-scoffed at delusion, Brad?
