The Soviet retroreflector wasn't assembled on the moon, though. It was part of a rover mission.

The retroreflector the US placed on the moon was part of a manned mission. There are photos of it being placed. Its existence was even proven (again) in an episode of
Mythbusters in which Adam and Jamie visited an observatory and watched an astronomer bounce a laser off of it. The fact it's there proves we did in fact step foot on the moon.
The thing I find odd is why we haven't stepped foot on the moon since 1972.
