Manage episode 479005148 series 3655237
Is space becoming the next battlefield?
In this episode, we explore how outer space is emerging as a key front in a new era of global power rivalry, echoing the original Cold War. From anti-satellite weapons and military space forces to spy satellites and dual-use technologies, the militarization of space is accelerating—and raising serious questions.
We dive into the strategies of major players like the US, Russia, and China, examine historical precedents, and unpack the fragile legal frameworks struggling to keep pace. As alliances form and space becomes a strategic high ground, we ask: is a space arms race already underway?
Tune in to decode the rising tensions in orbit—and what they mean for life down here on Earth.
