   Here's your problem, you don't actually understand the core problems with   
   stealth in space.   
      
   There is no horizon.  On a planet you only have to be able to keep from   
   being detected by sensors that are really close to you.   
      
   Space gives a very uncluttered background.  On a planet you have   
   everything from mountains to shifts in atmospheric conditions causing   
   sensor clutter.   
      
      
   Space really is a different sensor environment.
