Do you have the right stuff to become a space cadet?

The first Space Force uniforms have reached the Pentagon, and people are making fun of the camouflage print

The United States Space Force debuted the first ever uniforms for members of the newly created unit. …

A tweet sent from the official Space Force account pictured the camouflage uniform with the "U.S. Space Force" nameplate and "United States Space Command" patch.

Twitter users immediately began to poke fun at the uniform's print, questioning why space troops wouldn't wear black uniforms if they wanted to blend into their surroundings. ...

… However, others pointed out that there are no immediate plans to put space troops in space, so the uniforms will be worn by people still on Earth - and camouflage doesn't have to serve an actual camouflaging purpose, it has just became the traditional print for US military members. ...

Their uniforms should be pink 'cause pink is the new black.

Hee. Well, anyway, black or a Keith Laumer-style midnight blue, how about some insignia ideas?

Air Force radiused chevrons with USN-style rating badges in place of that star inside the circle -- 'cos, you know, space Navy.

Even symbolically, wings don't work in vacuum; how about qualified space pilots bearing a representation of the M82 active galaxy on their breast? It's rather winglike, enough to suggest. Red filaments about the center, and that star or globular cluster on one side and a bit below adding its gleam.
