Good grief what's happened to The Register? Rampant clickbait everywhere. Mike and John would be horrified.

- bell-cot 11mo agoYeah. OTOH, the clickbait seems confined to the title & subtitle on this one. By the 4th para, the story has admitted that "called on" is just noise in the SpaceX-fan bubbleverse. And that the chance of it being technically optimal is ~0.0000% - even if the CCP was somehow utterly blind to the optics of such a "rescue".
- jaggs 11mo ago>> OTOH, the clickbait seems confined to the title & subtitle on this one LOL, the definition of clickbait, no? :)
- JohnFen 11mo agoEl Reg has always had clickbaity titles. It's part of their charm. The only real difference with this one is the woeful lack of a groan-inducing pun.
