They did a great job of busting the conspiracy theorists' concerns about the Moon landings.
[*] flag waving
[*] non-parallel shadows
[*] footprints
[*] not enough shadows
[*] slow motion low gravity special effects

But didn't they try and debunk the ability of a can of soda to explode in a hot car?

They were wrong there. I question thier support for an actual moon landing :D

Ah, yes, Belgium. That would definitely strain their talents.
