Humans in space are less than children in the park. We've barely ventured out of our own atmosphere. Less than a 1000 people have been to orbit, and only 24 have gone to the moon. Out of those, only a dozen have landed on the moon.
And the moon is still the Earth system - we've never really left our own yard.

unlike the moon ISS is shielded by magnetic field and receives less radiation. It is actually our yard more than a park

You are invited to stretch the analogy as far as you would like in order to win an internet argument. Have a nice day.

Saying astronauts on ISS are children in the park and saying "rescuing a child" from the park is newsworthy headline is the stretch...
If you see a news headline "man rescues child" you expect a direct threat like something like from a burning house.
> if somebody finds a child wandering in the park alone, we say that the man rescued the child. Exactly as SpaceX is doing in this situation.
Plus, saying astronauts, professionals who signed up for the job knowing what it entails and went through years of training are like children wandering in the park, to paint SpaceX as their savior, is... wow.
