Sexual connotation? (Or troll?)
From the article lapel pin: he pins had counter cultural meanings as well; for example, the pin featuring the robot spacecraft Kosmos 186 (which approached and docked with Kosmos 188) had a sexual connotation..

Is that true? Sounds like a troll. 1.55.251.67 (talk) 09:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Probably a good faith edit, see the Kosmos 186 and 188 docking pin, other view. --Pp.paul.4 (talk) 10:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I see two (male?) flying toothpaste tubes trying to mate. The Capulets and Montagues have nothing on the Colgates and Crests. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * To someone with an overactive imagination (like the IP in question), anything inserting into anything could have "sexual connotations". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Dream Interpretation (simplified)
 * Everything's either concave or -vex
 * So whatever you dream will be something with sex.

 * It doesn't really take that much of an imagination. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Go to Google Images, enter "Valentin Viktorov" in the search box, and take a look at the Soviet phallic symbolism that comes tumbling out. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:27, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Closer to home was the Agena target vehicle. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * This is the most suggestive Gemini-Agena image I could find. Thin soup in comparison. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  06:11, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to give an explicit link here, but those interested in 'overactivation of their imagination' may look at one popular slang dictionary. --CiaPan (talk) 09:20, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Please do not include such explicit images; just give a link, labelling it NSFW. Thank you. --Lambiam 10:34, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean. There are no NSFW images in this thread. --Viennese Waltz 11:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
