@Romeo Fabulini,

All that shows is that you and Quahog have No Ide in hell whats involved. The beam is a coherent beam of about 4 mi diameter falling on a surface area of 7.3 MILLION square miles. Its the equivalent of hitting a moving penny at about 3 miles with a rifle .
It requires correct targeting since only 1 or 2 photons of the entire beam return, the recoding and frequency data is done as a series of inputs so that the tides can be factored (think about that and try to grasp the importance of how its done). Its like measuring the distance between San Francisco and Honolulu to 0.01 inches. ( We have newer generations of prisms and more coherent lasers that preserve the frequencies to a monochromatic level ). We don't have any plans to reclaim the moon.
Maybe when
China gets there youll buy the facts .
Until then, I hope you and Quahog enjoy your mutual masturbation. It appears that your Denial Industries Inc is active and selling stock to the gullible .
