Did Jarrah White Quotemine The Mythbusters?

On the Mythbusters Special on the moon hoax, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyman visited the Apache Point Observatory to fire laser beams at the moon. They started by firing a laser at an unexplored region of the moon, receiving no signal; and then they fired a beam at the Apollo 15 site, receiving a laser back. Their conclusion was that if there was no retro-reflector on the moon it would be impossible to bounce the laser back to earth.

I have pointed out that the Mythbusters are factually incorrect to claim that it is impossible to bounce lasers off the moon's bare surface, because MIT & the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory both succeeded in bouncing lasers off the moon and back to earth - without retro-reflectors - long before Apollo 11.

"Four years ago, a ruby laser considerably smaller than those now available shot a series of pulses at the moon, 240,000 miles away. The beams illuminated a spot less than two miles in diameter and were reflected back to earth with enough strength to be measured by ultrasensitive electronic equipment" - 'The Laser's Bright Magic', Thomas Meloy.

"SOVIET BOUNCES LIGHT BEAM OFF MOON IN A LASER TEST

Moscow, Nov 4 - A concentrated beam of light has been bounced off the moon and detected on earth by a Soviet observatory in the Crimea.

The feat, reported today by Tass, the Soviet press agency, duplicates an experiment conducted late last year by engineers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The superintensive beam was produced by a laser, a device that amplifies and focuses light. The principle is believed to have potential use in space communication and long - distance energy transmission.

The Soviet announcement said a laser had been installed a the focal point of the 100-inch reflector telescope at the Cimean Astraphysical (sic) Observatory." - THE NEW YORK TIMES, Nov 5 1963.

Propagandists, such as Astrobrant2 & Phil Webb, have claimed I took the Mythbusters out of context: claiming that the Mythbusters never claimed that it was impossible to bounce lasers off the moon's bare surface and that I made that up as a strawman. I did know such thing.

During a visit to The Amaz!ng Meeting held in Las Vegas, I met up with Adam Savage to question him about the lunar laser experiments...

Regardless of MIT or not. speaking about the laser they were using on the show its impossible to get a signal back, there ARE different types of lasers. Thus, saying they got a signal with another laser proves nothing. they used a single tool to shine at a bare spot and got nothing, and then shined it at a spot with the reflector and got a signal. meaning there is something up there that allowed the signal of that laser to come back.

Gosh, you guys are way too serious.

[LedWhisky69]

JarrahWhite, how does it feel to know that you won some pathetic little squabble while BADLY losing the war? LOL!

@pt1gard

Again, but this time in english.........

[pt1gard]

@MoronAntidote ... lmao, disprove my colette video, doofus, you cant, it handcuffed tard and the rest, get inline to be owned :)

@pt1gard

Cowardly fuckwit who won't even debate on YouTube 'lmfao'.

Step up kid.

[pt1gard]

@MoronAntidote ... sock puppet shill who wont come out and debate me on the radio like all the rest lmfao!!

@pt1gard

Narr he's one of the most retarded people on the internet. Don't tie your flag to the pole of someone who can't grasp hs physics to expain the behaviour of a flag on the moon.

[Laurelindo]

@pt1gard Oh, that?

There's a very easy explanation for that, actually - in order to be able to even bring the rovers to the moon they would have to fold them, so they didn't take up so damn much space in the rocket - when they took them out on the moon surface they unfolded them, and therefore you won't see any tracks on some of the pictures - because the rover had just been unfolded.

Simple as that.

You can even search for "lunar rover unfold" or something if you want a verification on this.

[pt1gard]

@Laurelindo ... jw is a genius and you are in denial, simple as that ... can you show me the tracks in as 17-137-20979? thanks :)
