Distance to the Moon ?

[Bjarne]

NASA have places a mirror on the Moon, and have thereby been able to measure that the Moon is moving 38 mm away from the Earth every year.
Does anybody know more than this.
Where to read about it?
If measurement data are available ?
etc..

Check wikipedia and look at references. Also try a google search and see if that helps. I bet even a search on Nasa's site could get you some info.

The Mythbusters did an episode about moon hoax claims in which they took a reading themselves.

its called the lunar laser ranging experiment - and it's definitely a moon landing hoax buster
