Happy New Year, friend.
I don't mind the wisecracks. It shows me fairly quickly who is here to genuinely learn something, and who is here to oppose and obscure the truth.
I particularly like it when a denier (maybe some are not trolls) deny the obvious truth, and then I get to point out where they are obviously wrong. And then they make out as if they didn't understand in the first place. The exchange tends to go like this.
Me: Obvious truth demonstrating point.
Denier: Denial of obvious truth.
Me: Example of obvious truth demonstrating point - and a mild jab at the denier's competence in the field given the denial.
Denier: Backtrack "Uh - I don't understand the question." Projection. "That mild jab applies to you!" Change the subject to a slightly different one, to hide the error, or a story that would indicate denier would have or should have had the knowledge not to have denied the obvious truth. "Well, of course I've been in a plane - in my younger days, I was quite the pilot..."

Okay. End of exchange. Back to my response to you, now.
Lol.

And the methods more or less agree that the earth is about 385,000 km from the moon. The orbit of the moon is slightly elliptical, so the distance varies accordingly.
The simplest way to measure the distance is radar. It is also possible to use laser measurement. Both methods confirm earlier calculated distances.
