Well the laser thing is partially true... but that was to measure the exact distance to the Moon using the mirrors placed there during the Apollo missions.
Also, there is no way Jupiter would ever enter our orbit. It is a physical impossibility, but say it did... just for sh**s and giggles. Earth would orbit it, not the other way around, and there would be huge shifts in Earth climate, and all life on the planet would die.
Just so you know, there is no way any of the above would ever happen unless the laws of physics one day just decided to stop working...

Not NASA, but some astronomers bounce lasers off the Moon.
Moon replaced by Jupiter? That doesn't have anything to do with lasers. Since the Moon is much smaller than Earth and Jupiter is much larger than Earth, it would be more like Earth going into orbit around Jupiter, not Jupiter entering Earth's orbit.

Please improve your spelling. I can make out most of the words, but "rentor" has me stumped. The Moon will never pull out of the Earth's orbit.

that laser only determines the distance between the two, its not effecting anything, they just used it to determine that the moon moves away form the earth 1 inch per year.

.....a planet isnt going to enter our orbit...in the extremely unlikely event that the moon somehow pulled itself out of orbit, it would not effect the orbit of any of the planets, so they would continue on their current orbital trajectories around the sun......i dont think much would happen here either, if anything the night would be darker and their wouldnt be high and low tide in the ocean...
