As for laser awesomeness, my money is on the apollo laser ranging experiments were a laser beam is sent out through a telescope(!, they need the beam to be aimed very accurately and be diverged enough for them to hit the tiny retro reflector arrays left on the moon after the lunar landings). When the beam hits the lunar surface it is roughly 4 miles wide, a photon every few seconds is detected that has been reflected back from the retro reflectors, and this is used to meassure distance to the moon within a few centimeters accuracy. The continental drift can be observed indirectly in the measurements taken from observatories on different continents, that's how rediculous the accuracy of the meassurements is.

On a side note. God damn on the "no longer for sale" 150-200mW lasers!
