Makes sense. I wasn't exactly subtle walking around in power armor when we first got here.
We do all the same stuff as marines in the past did, so mostly a lot of training and fighting, but in space everything is way more complicated. There's a division that specializes in dropping into active combat zones from ships in orbit of the planet. And sometimes we're just fighting in space with jetpacks, people usually like hearing about that.
It's all of those things. But it gets less scary the more you're out there and it can also be really beautiful. You just definitely need a suit.
No jetpack, sorry. Technically I'm only trained with thrusters anyway, for use in vacuum. Those guys I mentioned who drop from orbit get to use in-atmosphere packs, that's what we'd need to achieve lift in an environment with gravity and they rely on fuel and combustion. So even a jump pack probably wouldn't work here.
Are you following this? Most people who know their world's scifi terms can but sometimes things don't match up.
