No What I'm saying is that from a cold war space race perspective I like the idea that they had the motive to fake it, that's the interest for me, not some kid on YouTube pulling science out of his ass, the history element of it is what makes the conspiracy theory worth investing time in to Same with JFK Edit: and fwiw I think the cold war angle answers the laziest conspiracy theorist question - why has no one done it since / why has no one else ever done it Edited July 20, 2019 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did. 100% there is literally no question that they did. One of my favourite threads ever on VT was debunking the moon landing conspiracy. Sadly it got lost to time. But basically yes. They absolutely did walk on the moon. There is no conspiracy theory around it that can’t be easily debunked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Americans faked it, the soviets would have been the first people to blow the whistle. Yet they never did. It 100% happened. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted July 26, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2019 How much less satisfying VT must be for the VTers in AUS & NZ to use day to day, because by the time they turn up, all the European contributions have been made and all they're doing is reviewing the days posts. Which is a damn shame! 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 What’s more satisfying. When you’re really thirsty and you have a nice cold drink of pop. When you’re really hungry and you gorge on food. I always think this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 50p. Had a glass yesterday after the heat of the day. Might be the best experience of my life so far, and that's coming from someone that's had his willy touched by a woman. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I usually find drinking a lovely cold glass of your favourite pop to be absolutely heavenly. Especially when you have days like yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I had two Sprites with dinner last night and they might have saved my life. I used to drink a lot of Coke in Hanoi because of the heat, but I never normally touch pop in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
