Description

Space: the vast, open unknown - or is it? Over 60 years of space activities have resulted in over 30,000 tracked objects in orbit. What's even more dangerous are the millions of untraceable objects orbiting fast enough to obliterate anything in their path. As more collisions cause an exponential rise in fragments, could our orbits become impassable, or will insane engineering save the skies - and our future?Additional topics include: The origin of cordless power tools, the best place to spread your ashes, and how to ransom a GoPro.Check out our linktree to never miss out on our content!
