BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Rocket needs 4 days to reach the Moon. But, bounced photon hunters don't need a rocket.
Laser beam can reach the Moon in a second and half.A picture from the June 2006 run showing the back of the telescope, the APOLLO laser enclosure (left), the beam heading moon-ward, and the moon intself. The moon is actually a crescent, but so terrifically overexposed (16 seconds) that it looks rather round.
