while it is possible they changed the headline, the word is not in the 24 hour old snapshot: https://archive.is/cKdl5 and this thread is 3 hours old
It does appear in the body of the article but in what I read as a positive usage

you can argue that the images sent back remind you of some tolkien illustrations, the same argument is significantly harder to make about "fantastical nasa mission". or maybe the forbes author just doesn't care about nuances 🤷♂️
i still think that OP's edit is ~~journalistic~~ eh... reposting malpractice 😆
