So your saying the moon reflects NO photons back to the colector from
the sun ?
1500 watts per foot from the sun and you think 1 billionth watt from
a laser ...

"However, they WILL reflect a lot more ambient light. Hence
the need for matched filtering. "

I think ye stupid.
You used WIEGHT math .
its 1/6 the wieght NOT 1/6 the speed.

a = F/m

Objects on the moon will experience 1/6 the acceleration they
experience on earth since they experience 1/6 the force.

v = at

At any given time t, the speed v will be 1/6 the speed at
t seconds of fall on earth since the object experiences 1/6
the acceleration.


Flawless.
