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

El 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.

Yeah. 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".

    LOL, the definition of clickbait, no? :)
