Episode 15: Balloongate


Listen Later

It would have been impossible to miss the coverage of a large Chinese balloon entering U.S airspace last week and the discourse on if it was meant for intelligence gathering or a simple off course mishap of a civilian spacecraft, but do you know why this is as big a deal as it is? This week Allie takes us through the crazy and short  life of said balloon and divulges into the historical relationship of the U.S and China to determine if we should be worried or not.
