Line 228:
* Akin to the asteroids issue, just about anything in space has a good chance of going undetected from the simple scale of the problem so [[Reality Is Unrealistic|real life]] still [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] this trope, at least until we significantly upgrade our electromagnetic detection capabilities and actually deploy the technology. It should be doable, but hasn't happened yet.
** Of course the reason why the technology hasn't been deployed is that there isn't (barring belief in UFOs) any need to: there's no one out there running around the solar system to track.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120504132923/http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/spacewardetect.php This page] shows very well why there can not be stealth in space and how even decoys wouldn't work either.
* There is no such thing as total stealth on Earth either unless fairies have it, so in a way the argument only goes so far. Even submarines can be detected by sound and if you are close enough, magnetic anomaly.
