I did, just to be sure.

You might be right, but it could very well not either. For all we know these
rootin'tootin' hard-bitten maniacs could be straight outta "Full Metal Jacket"
or something.
All you really need to do is, yes, remove the first two pages, but then add
just a wee bit of text, even something so simple as "These are my Space
Marines" - just to put it into context. That's all, just a bit of context, of
which at the time of first reading there was none. Heck, you could even
cut/paste the text below into your page, that would probably do the trick
admirably.
Without any of it though, Mark's right in asking the question, there's not much
that looks "spacey" about it. Not yet anyway.
Cheer up, and look at it as constructive criticism :)
