Is The World F*cked?

#15 - Spraying Satellites Into the Sky


Listen Later

Hey - what's that flying around up there in the night sky? Smile - you're on satellite camera.

Private companies are spraying tens of thousands of satellites into orbit. What in blazes are they DOING up there? Who is operating them?  Does anyone actually know? And – most importantly – why are all those orbiting cameras pointed at PJ’s house?

According to UNOOSA records, there are 8,261 satellites orbiting the Earth as at January 2022, of which only 4,852 satellites are active, confirmed by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS),  who maintains the record of the operational satellites.

Hang on - concerned scientists? Um - why are they so concerned? Dust off your Space Force coveralls, pop in your earbuds, and find out!

And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
