🌊 Houston, we have trust issues

Remember when seeing was believing? The good old days. 

A viral clip claims to show Starship’s first intact soft splashdown from a drone’s perspective. Honestly, it looks amazing. There’s one tiny problem: SpaceX hasn’t officially released it. The internet immediately split into two camps: “Wow, greatest rocket footage ever” and “This has six-fingers AI slop energy.”

We’ve reached the point where incredible real footage looks fake and fake footage looks good enough to be real. Congrats, AI. You broke eyewitness testimony.
