Why did they use a picture of a space shuttle?

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same reason the shuttles existed in the first place. To look cool /s

“Guardians” I don’t know how to feel about that.

Yeah we would scoff at someone calling a soldier "guardian" even if they're fighting for us, so let's scoff at calling space soldiers "guardian" too.

Yeah, the attempts to distance themselves from the military aspect of it is not really engendering a lot of trust… “He’s going up to do *s c i e n c e,*low gravity research or something, various experiments, don’t worry about it.“
