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

gravitas_deficiency,

Yeah the Space force was created during the Trump administration…

It’s more that it evokes two completely conflicting ideas. The optimistic idealism of my youth or the bitter cynicism of Verhovens Starship Troopers.

Pretty sure Trump just gave himself credit for it.

LesserAbe,

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.“

Why did they use a picture of a space shuttle?

They’re not allowed to show off the anti-grav vehicles yet.

fidodo,

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