I was listening to the DVD of the Apollo 11 Moonwalk, with the flight
controller's loop on. A controller reports that Lick Observatory got
a laser return from the LRRR retroreflector. This is in the
transcript
(http://next.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11.html , then click on "EASEP
Deployment and Closeout") at 111:32:09, but they didn't report it to
the crew. (They tell Collins about it at 112:34:29.) However, there
are comments in the transcript saying that they tried to detect the
LRRR but didn't (until August 1). I remember that live coverage at
the time said that they didget a return from the retroreflector.

So was this early report correct or in error?
