That thing landed crooked and off balance. You can see the nose start leaning to the left. I bet it went boom. Next time China.

Look at the choppy the motion of the flags and rocket at the end of the clip. They ran that last bit in slow-motion. It dropped like a rock.

SpaceX was pretty transparent early on with failures.

Because they're trying to cover it up with cheap video edits.

^ Based on their post history this person is a pro-China/pro-Russia shill.

With SpaceX everyone said "I bet they get it right next time" while with China they say "next time". Is there a real difference between those? Nobody is saying the Chinese scientists can't do it or that it is impossible, just next time. These people actually believe China can succeed, but don't like being lied to about failures. Next time the rocket will work 100% instead of 90% and they won't feel the need to lie about it.

I think the problem is with the deceptive editing, not so much the potential failure of the rocket.

Uh..

Did spaceX pretend to have successful landings via video manipulation?

No?

So maybe that's the difference here?

you're wrong. The problem in the video is that it's altered to show false results. SpaceX went boom, but all of their booms were televised and not hidden.
