A rigorous derivation of the molecular theory of a confined, deterministic gas is given. Then, a molecular reflection law is presented with the property that the corresponding fluid does not slip at the boundary. It is also shown that, within a certain reasonable class of reflection laws, the one we give is the only one that leads to no-slip.
