English: The Space Cowboys, consisting of members from the 2d Space Launch Squadron, pose for a group photo in front of a Minotaur rocket at Space Launch Complex 8 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., April 10, 2025. The Space Cowboys are trained to conduct the handling, transport, and emplacement of Minotaur rocket motors.
