Mistake gets lots of clicks and and revenue for a lot of newspapers and journalists.

Correction doesn't cost anything.

So how did everyone fuck that up? Zero checks and balances? Trust the science?

Every chance to jump on SpaceX is cool, how did we get to this? [1]

For years some shitty art students have hated space, now it's the 'nerds' as well. Ohhh satellites are bad, Star Trek should only be on TV.

[1] A rocket hitting the moon is awesome and also good for science, but we've hit such a fairy tale world it's spun as a bad thing.
