Are there any experiments that I can do to prove that humans have been to the Moon? I'm not skeptical of it, I think there's plenty of photo/video evidence, but I'm just very curious.
I know some of the Apollo missions left some laser reflectors to measure distance. I have access to some pretty powerful lasers. I would need to check exact specs of these lasers, but how feasible would it be to try to hit one of those and measure it back? What kind of equipment would I need?
Other than the lasers, are there any other experiments I could do?

If you have to ask you can't

didn't they bring back 800kg of lunar samples ? maybe it was 800lbs but anyway its all in labs and available for research.

>laser reflectors t
How will you distinguish them from other reflections eg. metal of an russian probe ? Maybe you can analyze the Doppler shift in the recorded communication. But that can be staged too.

Your experiment is to buy a multimillion dollar ticket to the ISS and stay there for a few days

They would have left some signs which could be visible by telescope from the Earth (since they had time to play golf kek).

The concept of cheating, bluffing and deception has been known since millennia.
The Allies have misled the Germans as to the exact location of the Operation Overlord for example.

And do you remember when the US government banned import of AUDI because their cars violated some environment regulations? And AUDI then announced that it will finance a moon expedition to check the "Lunar landing site"? kino

Beware, there was a small scandal when a Dutch museum discovered that a Moon rock officially presented to them was just a piece of petrified wood.
I can personally supply you with unlimited quantities of authentic Moon rocks at a very reasonable price though.

You're right, there's a dome over the earth and if you point a laser at the right spot it reflects back. Ya got me goy

>> No.14510903

There is no dome, as there is no money to be made on domes. Otherwise it would have been already confirmed by NASA that we live under a dome.

why would you need a man made device to bounce light off something. By definition if you can see it, it is reflecting light.

>> No.14511403

>>14503201
This is nothing you can do to personally verify the moon landings.

The laser range-finding experiment is far outside of what an amateur could achieve. Even using a very powerful laser you will end up receiving only a handful of photons back.
