The actual reason is space-flight aesthetics, right?
Space stuff itself being white for insulation purposes.I'd think that light colours make it easier to see if plastic panels have cracked or there's leaks in hydraullics or scorched spots.
Ragebait never fails to work.
How many replies, likes and retweets does the average CNN Twitter post have? I bet this one has more.
Also this screenshot is from 2019 and the crux of the article is:
The robots used in the study are clearly robots but have human-like limbs and a head, with exterior complexions that are white – which is to say, pinkish – or black – really, a deep brown.
Shit, and here I was thinking I like white robots because white is my second favorite color. Damn, that makes me racist, doesn't it?
It's not that difficult. White robots are good, black robots are evil.
Nobody has ever been saved from a fire by a black robot with red eyes. Checkmate!
Stupid articles like this are trying to normalize having these robots around for when they start rolling them out to do menial jobs in a few years.
You could spray-paint only half of them black, half of them white. Or ideally, you'd throw in some shades of gray and all kinds of other colors, too. There's lots of ways to dodge an apparent bias without flopping all the way to an opposite bias.
We could even wait till we commercialise and mass produce them before bringing up stupid topics like this one!
