SPACE — While training with the inaugural class of the recently announced U.S. Space Force, sources say Lt. j.g. Tyler Shoelaces got lost during a navigation exercise and wandered into a wormhole.

According to Space Force officials, the introductory class "Space Navigation: 101" is a simple navigation course conducted just a few thousand miles above Earth's surface. However, radio signals from Shoelaces' ship indicate he drifted at least half a dozen light years outside the Solar System.
