My wife's episode of Mythbusters will air initially August 27 on Discovery, it will be shown a total of four times on the 27th, 28th, and 29th.

The episode is NASA Moon Landing, "On this episode of MythBusters, the team tackles the tallest tale of all in Moon Landing Hoax Hour. Did NASA pull off the greatest cover-up in human history?" Adam & Jamie went to Apache Point Observatory in January while my wife was doing a laser run, bouncing a beam off of retro-reflectors left behind by three Apollo missions and two Russian robotic probes, measuring the distance to the moon down to the millimeter.

Yep! She has to explain how a corner cube retroreflector works and why they don't get photons returned when they blast random spots on the moon.
