Starship Splashdown: Real Physics vs Synthetic Video Dynamics Coupled Simulator
Addressing viral claims: "this looks like a Marvel movie... no sense of gravity... 100% AI." Explore how high-altitude atmospheric dynamic pressure (Q) deceleration coupled with optical drone gimbal inertia creates extreme real-world movement that appears keyframed to human intuition.

Physics Disconnect: Real rockets experience exponential atmosphere drag braking. Human eyes expect smooth CGI linear easing; physical mass deceleration combined with drone counter-pitching camera inertia produces apparent "floating" and sudden vector changes.
