Hmmm, isn’t it very small though ? It’s able to reflect on a mirror on the moon and come back to earth, still as a focused beam, right ?

Lasers that bounce off the moon come back to earth as a few detectable photons, not as a beam of light that you’d recognize without very specialized equipment.

Well, to rephrase a bit, laser beams that bounce off the moon.

Lasers that bounce off the moon are an expensive way to make a small crater.
