Did you know that the lasers hitting this machine detected the quivering of the moon caused by the impact of a giant comet or asteroid that was recorded and visually seen On 25 June, 1178 AD by Canterbury priests?

We've been bouncing lasers from the moon since
1969.

Ok, I guess I’m just really mean, but it looks like a wash tub on broken baby buggy wheels.

...the position of the rover was recovered by NASA's moon-orbiting Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Given that position, laser pulses from Earth were successfully bounced off the old robot's reflector. Bouncing laser pulses off of this and other lunar reflectors could yield range data to the moon accurate enough to track millimeter-sized deviations in the Moon's orbit, effectively probing lunar composition and testing gravitational theories.
