Here’s the summary with the requested annotations:
The author, Miles Mathis, argues that the recent push for reusable rocket technology, heavily promoted on alternative news sites like Infowars and Zerohedge, is a “reusable booster thing” fraud. He claims that even “fake events experts” like Alex Jones and Mike Adams should recognize this deception. Mathis asserts that the “chopsticks” on the landing pad catching the booster, as well as Elon Musk’s red roadster in space, are CGI, akin to a Hollywood movie, and not real. He suggests that anyone fooled by this has poor discernment and needs to understand their susceptibility to being deceived, drawing a parallel to avoiding insurance scams or other cons. Mathis believes real scientists would know rockets don’t land backwards and that the footage is obviously computer-generated, resembling a Star Trek movie. He notes that only two out of six comments on an Infowars video about this reported it as fake. Mathis further criticizes the individuals presenting this “fraud,” stating they do not resemble scientists and comparing them to people rounded up from a soccer match. He references a similar perceived fraud with the Mars Curiosity Lander, lamenting the decline of societal standards since the 1960s, where many now appear and sound foolish, making it difficult to distinguish real scientists from others. He questions the legitimacy these presenters add, suggesting they lack the gravitas of someone like Walter Cronkite.
