The drawback
And if you can, while doing this, do it also for a green laser, you know
reflect off of the lunar reflectors the Apollo gang left on the surface?
And say a 10 diameter scope on the recieve end?
I wonder how large the beam gets by the time it gets to the moon with a
typical good quality green
According to this path loss is a lot less than I expected:

~206db at 1.2GHz assuming a 384403KM trip
you're still going to need some hardware but I think it's doable
