3. How were the mirrors placed on the moon to reflect todays lasers?

Space beyond low earth orbit (which) is awash with radiation.
Links, links, links.... Please.
I can only provide links for my argument.
If you cannot provide any links, then this is a waste of my time.

While outside the radiation belts, the radiation encountered was predominantly in the form of galactic cosmic rays. Dose rates experienced during the translunar and transearth phases of the missions ranged from 1 to 3 millirad/hr. In lunar orbit and on the surface, where the bulk of the Moon provides about 30 percent and 50 percent shielding, respectively, dose rates ranged from 1 to 2 millirad per hour.
Neutrons created by cosmic rays in collision with lunar materials were postulated to be a potential hazard to Apollo crewmen (Kastner et al., 1969). Two methods for neutron-dose assessment were used. These techniques of whole-body counting and neutron-resonant foil were initiated on the Apollo 11 mission. Later analyses indicated that neutron doses were significantly lower than had been anticipated. Both methods were retained because of the remaining potential for neutron production by solar-event particles and because of possible crewman exposure to neutrons from the SNAP-27 radioisotope thermal generator used to power the Apollo lunar surface experiments packages.

The neutron radiation on the surface of the moon contains high and low types of energy.
If it contains high energy neutron radiation, then the exposure time would be of great concern.
I do not understand where you are getting the short or long term exposure idea from.
the numbers are really difficult to track down.

You are supposing this on information that was supposedly collected from the space suit.
We do not know what the radiation on the surface of the moon is.
His link has sources, but they are ALL from before 1998, which is when we began to map the moon's surface regarding neutron radiation.
