Aye, fire it beforehand to a tiny little reflector and hope it hits, eh?You realise they could fire it beforehand so it hits the reflector? Probably why send pulses as one is bound to hit it.
Again explaining the basics
The same thing applies as it does hit, if that was the case. By the time it hit it would've moved away from it and hit the surface.
It's a fantasy story sold to the public, imo.
