Is a vertical touch & go even possible in the aircraft?

I'm struggling to see another video of an F35B hitting the deck & then becoming airborne again, everything I see follows the same sequence of touchdown & throttle down, the process seems so consistent that it may be automated after WOW. Sensor, processing or software glitch possibly "Fan - start the shutdown sequence" & "Engine - give it plenty"?
