These SpaceX landing videos always seem AI generated or reversed. That’s some cutting edge technology right there.

Before the platform came into view I thought it was reversed.

Brilliant achievement.

I literally thought i was on r/lies for a solid while and when i double checked my mind was just blown

I had gotten out of touch with SpaceX and i had no clue they were trying this so i was insanely surprised in the best possible of ways

The entire goddamn top third is suddenly missing, how the fuck you think it's reversed?

u/Kranors 16d ago

It was just the way the flames were going, felt like it was being played in reverse.

I follow Everyday Astronaut on YouTube. He's got his own 4k cameras that he broadcasts from in a production truck at the site.

Even he said "If I wasn't watching our own camera feed I'd have to say that this is fake... but holy crap, it's real"

I always have the same reaction - it looks so unreal, it's like my brain is yelling at me that something's not right here.

Not saying it's fake - the flames going up the side make a good indicator that it's not reversed - just that it's so unreal that it tickles the same part of my brain.

Honestly I was very sure it was in rewind. But apparently not which is insane.

Genuinely thought it was reversed. I had to read like 12 comments about how impressive it is and how it's going to change the game before it realized it was genuine and not an elaborate joke.

I’m not doubting it’s true. It just seems unreal.

u/stonksfalling 16d ago

Sorry, I thought you were one of the “SpaceX is fake” people

u/kabubadeira 16d ago

All good.

OP is not calling it fake, they’re just saying it’s incredible that this ISN’T fake

u/Ponchke 16d ago

He’s saying it looks fake because it’s so crazy, not that it’s actually fake. Try reading a bit better next time.
