  Interesting - how is it they can accurately target the puny "lunar laser ranging retroreflector array" but not see the landers?

    The laser is 6.5KM wide when it reaches the moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

      Awesome! I see they lost the Soviet Lunokhod 1 array for nearly 40 years!
