 If only there were not literally thousands of people (and some of our friends) there, recording it on their phone...

 Send me some raw footage from someone you know.  Not too difficult to stage a crowd of whooping actors.

 Curious, do they think that starlink is fake satellite internet also, and/or that the rockets that take those up and land back on their landing sites is all fake as well? 🤔

I don’t quite see the point of such an elaborate faking and doing it over and over again thinking they wouldn’t get caught.

 the point?: milking the taxpayer.  "getting caught"?:  you may have noticed that investigative journalism isn't exactly thriving these days - and possibly never was.  rockets don't land backwards anywhere.

 Yes.  All fake.  Rockets don't land backwards.   And there is nobody that has both the ability and inclination to "catch" anything.
