NASA’s engineers have not found yet the technology to land a rocket backwards on the flames, because to balance a rocket that tends to flip over in any direction is tremendously difficult.
John Carmack, a skilled video games developer, with computer graphics applications has succeed in doing it with a rocket equal to the poor Morpheus:

But when the rocket is coming to land, the poor John Carmack has done some mistakes:
when the rocket is tilting on the left, the engine should thrust on the right (and vice versa).
If the engine thrusts on the left, under the center of gravity, the rocket turns counterclockwise and crashes on the ground.
Simple truth, not at all my opinion.

At second 0:54 the rocket begins to tilt to the left ok?
The engine begins to thrust toward the left. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

You are talking nonsense.
Those video you have seen are evidences not my opinions.

Think about it.
Launching a rocket/missile is physically and mathematically then same thing as a rocket landing except with a little less thrust.
They use gimbals to vector the motor to control pitch and yaw.

Are you intentionally confusing cause and effect? The craft is tilting to the left because the exhaust is to the left. The exhaust sweeps to the right to compensate, then the craft starts to tilt to the right.

In 3D space airplanes and helicopters must control pitch, roll and yaw.
In 3D space rockets must control infinite pitch, infinite roll and infinite yaw. Therefore it is tremendously difficult.
You have not understood.
