Doesn’t really explain how the Laser Reflectors placed on the Moon, that the observatory in Arizona fires a beam at everyday for decades since the Apollo mission (to measure the distance between the earth and the moon) to deliver them, got there.

In case anybody might be interested, the moon moves away from the earth a small amount each year.

You may not be aware—but there are some “conspiracy theorists” who claim the missions were real but the photography was fake.

The photo (as well as video) technology in that period was rather primitive—and the logistical challenges of astronauts doing quality photography in the hostile environment were overwhelming.

Right you are. ALSO, Apollo 15 proved that a hammer and a feather DO drop at the same speed in a vacuum. Proved Galileo right.

So, as "sea levels rise" tidal effects will lessen. All good!
