Deceptions
65%
Examples:
- The August mission will be the first launch of a guardian into space–but it suggests that this is a unique or exclusive function of the Space Force, when in fact all previous NASA astronauts from other service branches have performed similar tasks.
- There is a guardian going into space via NASA in August–this implies that there are no other guardians who have been or will be sent to space before August, when in fact Col. Mike Hopkins was already orbiting Earth when he transferred from the Air Force to the Space Force in 2020.
