I want to defend this tweet. It's a silly little vignette where everything is a little bit wrong. 1) You can't just come back early from a moon mission. Getting to Earth from the moon is a huge ordeal. 2) If you did come back early from a moon mission, NASA would know, because they monitor space missions intently. 3) If you somehow managed to come back early from a moon mission, the NASA guys would be shocked and confused, not casual. 4) Ghosts don't exist. 5) A gun can't shoot a ghost. 6) You can't go back to your rocketship after taking it to the moon (at least before SpaceX figured out how to do that). 7) You can't just hop on a rocket and go back to the moon. These things take a ton of prep. So with just four short lines of dialogue and one action (loading the gun) you get a scene with many strange and absurd implications. It's funny because it overwhelms the reader with questions.

I feel like this is a good summary of what happens to literally every mainstream horror concept online
