I get that this is a big deal but why do the headlines need to fluff it up to make it seem like there is a human out there? When do we ever say that our rovers on Mars are going for a Mars walk or stepping off their landing platform? If it’s wheels they are rolling or going for a drive! It’s no wonder that trust in news media is declining when there are editors who think this kind of bullshit can fly in a science headline.
Exactly, I can see why Indians would be proud of this achievement. But saying they are doing moonwalks is just deceptive, I can guarantee people will read the headline and think India has humans on the moon.
