So one of the things Apollo sought to do, and presumably succeeded in, was to plant antennae on the surface of the moon to directly pick up these signals. No "bounce" required.
Fantastic, indeed incredible.
I look forward to seeing your proof.

Come on now Multivac, that's a pretty teensey weensey reflector for such a big fat rocket. Don't you think they brought up somptin' a bit bigger than that? Going all that way with such a big "spaceship", the unmanned craft must have been packing more than a midget LRRR. Let your imagination go a little buddy. It's the only way to get at the truth here with so many lies floating about in this zero G ungrounded world of Apollo.
Three main forms of verification of any agreement were available to both the Soviets and the USA. The first was ground-based radars to detect the launch of a missile. The detection could be achieved over long distances, due to the use of so-called over-the-horizon radar. The second was radio-listening stations on land, ship, aircraft, and even satellite that could monitor the radio transmissions between a missile and the ground. This telemetry information is used by the country undertaking the tests to alert the ground controllers as to the status of the missile-- detection of unintended echoes from the moon's surface by giant antennas on earth were also used.87 The third was satellite images primarily to count the number of deployed missiles and aircraft and their nuclear payloads, and monitor their manufacture and transportation, and also to detect the launch of a missile by its tell-tale bright rocket plume.

Do you know anything about photo recon satellite mission design? Or how they work? or what their limitations are? I am thinking not.OK...in the 60s we had BMEWS (Radar), DSP (IR), and ELINT/COMINT satellites/ground stations(EM/Comms). I would like (but am not expecting) some details on this "Moon-bounce" stuff we were supposedly "depending" on. It sound's like some strange form of ELINT collection, but I've never heard of it.
I think you're fabricating this, P1K...prove me wrong...show us what this "bounce" system could do that outperformed the existing systems, and made them obsolete. Are we using it today? Was/is the Moon critical to our missile detection?
And using photo satellites to detect/photograph a missile launch??!?!!Do you know anything about photo recon satellite mission design? Or how they work? or what their limitations are? I am thinking not.

Why hide the bird? Telling big lies like the astronauts did, like the Apollo Program directors did, such as the lie about one not being able to see stars from cislunar space and from the surface of the moon, or the lie about not being able to find spacecraft, once landed on the surface of the moon, with any appreciable degree of accuracy, betrays a very strong motivation. The lies are so patently just that "lies", the payoff must be astronomical.
Here was one of the bigger payoffs. In the 1960s, one of the ways we would detect Russian missile launches was by way of picking up electromagnetic echos associated with those missile launches, echos that had bounced off the surface of the moon and were picked up by large antennae on the surface of the earth. Here is a quote from Pat Norris' book, SPIES IN THE SKY which makes reference to that;

Not the best article mrbusdriver, but this will get your motor running. Here is the Wikipedia link with background as to how the Navy regularly employed the moon in a passive communication link from the east coast to Hawaii and I woulod presume other places as well.

You could be presuming much...look at a globe and see what the Earth looks like from the Moon, can you see much of the US and USSR at the same time? Considering atmospheric attenuation of the bounced signals and all...and where does missile launch detection fit in? Was this system effective enough to listen in to realtime Soviet secure communications?
...and a passive cube reflector for reflecting lasers from Earth would relate to this how...?? That's what Apollo 11 left up there.

Predictable; my post about what Patrick needs to prove was ignored.
- You have not proved anything except in your own fantasies (why do you think you have failed to convince anyone anywhere)?
- Even had you proved your "coordinate lie", this does automatically not invalidate the reality of the other evidence.
Take a shot at my trajectory analyses. Debunk my fraud claim. I would like to see it.
