I already did they measuerd it with light waves man and they don't have to bounce off a mirror on a distant world or moon to be calculated.
Since we can verify the speed of light and we can and have with more calculations and methodology than I care to C/P
then we can correctly measure the distance from our planet by using the doppler effect
I said this earlier go to home depot and buy an infrared tape measure it uses the exact same principles as calculating distance to a nearby star or supernova by measuring the difference in the red shift.
Thereby we can accurately calculate the distance to any cellestial body by using this method.

Show us.
regarding redshift:
"Hubble concluded that his observed log N(m) distribution showed a large departure
from Euclidean geometry, provided that the effect of redshifts on the apparent magnitudes
was calculated as if the redshifts were due to a real expansion. A different correction is
required if no motion exists, the redshifts then being due to an unknown cause. Hubble
believed that his count data gave a more reasonable result concerning spatial curvature IF
the redshift correction was made assuming NO RECESSION [i.e., no expansion]. To the very end of his
writings he maintained this position, favoring (or at the very least keeping open) the model where no true expansion exists, and therefore that the redshift "represents a hitherto unrecognized principle of nature"
- The Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada
'They' dont even know what causes redshift!
So, do you believe in the bigbang / expanding universe paradigm? and that the universe is approx 15 billion years old Musker?
