Hey, I know that they landed it YOU know that they landed it, but do THEY know that SpaceX landed it?

I am saddened to see so little appreciation for the true heroes of this launch - Stubborn Stiffener Ring and Enthusiastic Yet Ineffective Water Cannon
I am getting SOOO sick of those type of ****tards - they are EVERYWHERE, spreading like cancer. Some believe the sh1t they're spouting, others are just doing it to get a reaction from space fans. I haven't punched anyone in 30 years but I think that soon, I might get to because I'm participating in a couple events over the coming weeks where I will be doing Space Exploration history presentations in Powerpoint and with models and some terd is bound to mouth off. And one of the biggest problems? When I try to warn some space websites that these people exist and are stepping up their nonsense - my comments or warnings get moderated or deleted away... Don't let that happen to you!
Is the technician real or photoshopped though? SSL logos (on stand next to tech and on left side) also appear manipulated. Does this satellite even exist? It would be consistent with the faked landing... perhaps there wasn't even a launch.
OMG, you are correct. The light is coming from behind the tech., yet she has a shadow behind her!

Saying they landed a rocket stage is dumb. Rockets can't land. Don't fall for their lies, sheeple!(Ew, that felt toxic even in jest).

Rocket's can't even so to orbit because they world is flat!(And i agree, even in jest that feels wrong, but you can't read youtube comments without running into a few flat earthers aswell.)

They're doing rather poorly at rocket retention of late
What about falcons? Falcons all the way down?
I remember being relayed a facebook comment about how rocket engines are propulsive systems and therefore could only push forward, not slow something down to land.
