Orbiting Data Empires, VA Overhauls, and a WWI Relic ER Visit
This episode rockets from the edge of the atmosphere straight into the headlines you did not see coming. SpaceX is reportedly sketching out plans for a jaw dropping orbital data center network that could one day blanket Earth with up to a million satellites, turning low Earth orbit into the ultimate cloud server farm (06:06). Space may soon have more traffic than a holiday weekend highway.
Back on the ground, major reforms are brewing inside the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, with leadership signaling a shake up aimed at changing how veterans receive care in the months ahead (14:16). What gets streamlined, what gets cut, and what it means for former service members could reshape the system millions rely on.
And in the most “history literally repeats itself” story of the week, a man in France landed in the hospital after an unexploded World War I munition turned up in a place no battlefield historian would recommend (21:52). Authorities had to treat the situation like a bomb disposal call, proving once again that old ordnance and bad decisions are a timeless combination.
From mega constellations in orbit to system wide veteran care changes to a history lesson no one asked for, this lineup delivers whiplash in the best way.
