They also left some reflectors on the moon, which are used in an experiment to measure the Earth-Moon distance ... and are still being used today.
Yes, I know that one however, the bounce back light is reduced to a count of a "few" photons. I think it is proven (without looking it up) by matching the wavelength of the transmitting laser. We are down to partial physics to prove that one, which is a bit complicated for the thickos.

The US Navy has a bigger space budget than NASA and in 2012 it donated two unused Space Telescopes to NASA that were identical to Hubble ... but had never been launched because they were now obsolete ( in the US Navy's eyes .... obviously got something far better ).
