U.S. Space Force unveils .... wait for it ... official camouflage uniforms!!

Am I missing something here? How does this camouflage idea work in outer space?



The US Space Force has defended its newly unveiled camouflage uniforms after they were roundly mocked on social media.
The force, officially launched by US President Donald Trump last month, posted a picture of the uniform to its Twitter account.
The uniform in the picture has a woodland camouflage design with badges embroidered on the arm and chest.
Reacting to the uniform, many critics had the same question: "Camo in space?"

The deep, secret, inside information is what reveals why that is the case.

You see, the alien species we will be defending against and fighting, (reptilians) actually see space like the camouflage of those uniforms. They have multi-layer, retinal sheaths. Each layer sees a certain aspect of space, (including dark matter and dark energy) and they, the alien multi-brain combines them into one, 4-dimensional picture which allows them to monitor all the levels simultaneously. It turns out that the traditional camouflage design you see renders a space cadet invisible in that case unless they have been eating asparagus, which causes retro glow that permeates the uniform.

It is an odd coincidence.

The space force can be merged back with the Air Force.

Gotta save money and all that.
