If I remember right, there's some wobble to it. I wonder how the
wobble compares to the spread of the laser beam?

Of course, the trick would be to make the laser beam wide enough that
the variation in the moon's orientation w.r.t. the earth wouldn't
matter.

Also, it just hit me - the moon is tidally locked - the earth isn't.

Danged cold medicine has me dragging.
