laser is for measuring distance, Japan used it first, to acquire data of tiniest earthquakes.

#3 #4 NASA put mirrors on the moon to do distance measurements. These lasers are pointing in different directions though, they are probably for laser guide stars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_guide_star

I don't think it's for measuring distance. If I'm not mistaken, it's to evaluate the turbulence in the atmosfere and adjust the telescope's mirrors accordingly to get a sharper and more defined picture.

As for the video, absolutely beautiful! :)

EDIT: #5 was quicker :x

#6 is correct. The technology is called adaptive optics. The lasers actually make a fake star in the atmosphere.
