I understand about why the first half might be wrong, but does anyone has an explanation about how the reflectors were put on the moon if people haven't gone too the moon
Those laser experiments are government/NASA funded. We were recently talking about this in AR:
After 40 years' reflection, laser moon mirror project is axed -
https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/jun/21/mcdonald-observatory-space-laser-fundingGovernment funded:
“ The National Science Foundation (NSF) last week wrote to scientists working at the McDonald Laser ranging station at Fort Davis in Texas to tell them the annual $125,000 funding for their research project was going be terminated following a review of its scientific merits. ”
Used by NASA as evidence for Apollo:
“ The mirror's existence, and the fact that astronomers can bounce lasers off it and detect the returning beam, has also provided Nasa and other scientists with compelling evidence to refute the claims of moon-landing deniers who claim the Apollo lunar mission were hoaxes filmed in an Earth-based studio. ”
So the government funded something so that NASA could prove that they went to the Moon.
Not only did NASA cite the McDonald Observatory experiments as evidence they went to the Moon, they directly funded McDonald Observatory lunar ranging experiments with the National Science Foundation. See:

Apache Point ObservatoryThe lunar ranging equipment at the Apache Point Observatory was also supported and funded by NASA --
http://physics.ucsd.edu/~tmurphy/apollo/"Finally, we thank NASA for supporting APOLLO and enabling it to get "off the ground", and more recently, a joint effort by NASA and the National Science Foundation to fund APOLLO at a level that will allow project completion and production of the first science results."
Table Mountain ObservatoryArgon Laser Shot to the Moon -
http://www.w7ftt.net/laser1.htmlAt the bottom of that article:
"Table Mountain Observatory, operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), is located just west of the
town of Wrightwood, California at an elevation of 7500 feet."
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory happens to be a NASA facility.
How very convenient of NASA, when defending its scam with Lunar Ranging claims, to neglect to disclose they they themselves fund those experiments.
and other practicalities about how to convince that 400 000 people and governments.
Contractors do what they are told. Build me a simulation for this, build me a model for that, write a research document for this, create a theory for doing that.
Many of the governments rely on NASA for a lot of stuff.
https://www.planetary.org/explore/the-planetary-report/australia-space-program.html “ The fact that so many countries seem to want a space program implies an inherent value to exploring space, but what is it? Last year, Australia became the latest country to announce the formation of its own space agency. The process took a significant step forward in March with a new report recommending goals and focus for its space agency.
The report also provides insight about why Australia sees space as a valuable enterprise. The report highlights several areas where the country could leapfrog others by strategically investing in specific capabilities (for example, artificial intelligence or quantum computing) and sets out a goal of tripling the size of the Australian space industry by 2030. One of the keys to succeeding in this new effort, the report declares, will be international partnerships.
International partnerships provide the means for countries to participate in the exploration of space without having to create expensive, enabling infrastructure from the ground up.
They can leverage the space capabilities of other nations while providing unique contributions to the benefit of their own industry and scientific base. This is the opposite of a zero-sum, competitive mentality of international relations; a rising rocket lifts all spacecraft, if you will.
The European Space Agency’s very existence relies on this model. Its BepiColombo mission—as you will read in this issue—includes contributions from 13 European member states,
the United States, and Japan. This coalition of nations is deeply invested in the success of the mission, spreading out the cost and also the political support. ”
NASA is encouraged to help other countries do space activities.
NASA AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SPACE -
https://spacepolicyonline.com/topics/international-space-activities/ “ International cooperation has been a hallmark of NASA’s programs throughout its history. The law that created NASA, the 1958 National Aeronautics and Space Act, included Section 205 that encouraged NASA to cooperate with other countries. A 2014 report by NASA’s Office of International and Interagency Relations states that
NASA has signed over 3,000 international agreements since its inception. The report, Global Reach: A View of NASA’s International Cooperation, lists international cooperative projects ongoing at NASA at the time of publication. ”
