Note sull'episodio
In this eye-opening episode, we uncover the silent war unfolding high above us in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) — the crowded, critical zone packed with over 14,000 satellites that quietly power global internet, GPS navigation, finance, weather forecasting, disaster relief, and military operations worldwide.
Once a peaceful domain, LEO has turned into one of the most strategically vital yet dangerously fragile regions in space. We explore the real and escalating threats of satellite sabotage — from kinetic anti-satellite weapons and space debris cascades to cyber attacks, signal jamming, and laser interference. Discover the terrifying risk of Kessler Syndrome, the regulatory vacuum that leaves the orbit wide open to exploitation, and why major powers like the US, China, and Russia are treating space as the next battlefield.
A single incident could disrupt communications, economies, and security for billions of people. This is not science fiction — it’s the new reality of 21st-century geopolitics.
