Can lasers reach the moon?

The typical red laser pointer is about 5 milliwatts, and a good one has a tight enough beam to actually hit the Moon—though it'd be spread out over a large fraction of the surface when it got there. The atmosphere would distort the beam a bit, and absorb some of it, but most of the light would make it.

How strong does a laser have to be to start a fire?

Now, today lasers can go from less than 5mW all the way up to 5,000mW or 5W. So that means knowing where the burning threshold is and that threshold is at a minimum of 100mW as a general rule. That means that any laser below 100mW will be hard-pressed to burn anything and will flat out not be able to.
