#85 - Wars in Space & Space Debris | (Rebecca Ressman)

Future Hacker (English)

A conversation about the paper Dr Rebecca Ressman published: "Physics of War in Space: How Orbital Dynamics Constrain Space-to-Space Engagements". We cover the main points of this incredibly interesting discussion, how we should be thinking about Conflicts in Space (and how our imagination is wrong when using sci-fi movies as a reference!). We also discuss one of the main concerns with conflict in space - space debris, and what will conflict in space look like in the coming decades.
