In this week’s episode, we discuss the billionaire space race. Henna tells us some important updates about the Olympics, femicide and Israel. Annaig shares a crime story of a gruesome attack on a Dublin woman, and the perpetrator’s subsequent bomb threats to members of the Irish government. She then gives a brief summary of the history of the space race and who is currently involved. Henna reads through an opinion piece about the behaviours of the billionaires, and the capitalism involved. We discuss the issues surrounding the space race and these wealthy men striving to start a new life on other planets.
