Welcome to The Pulse Wave— where we build mission-critical tech to harden America’s land, sea, and skies. Built for Earth. Ready for orbit. 🌎🚀

In this episode, Virgil sits down with Michelle Lucas, former NASA flight controller and founder of Higher Orbits, and co-host Tommy Weinert (Mount Indy) to talk about the new frontier of space conflict and exploration.

We break down:

Russia’s tumbling anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon and what it means for global security.

China’s crewed lunar lander test and the risks of losing the moon race.

Japan’s wooden satellite experiment and the future of space sustainability.

Space junk re-entry (including a Kenyan village incident!) and why more orbital debris is inevitable.

The blurred lines between NASA’s civil mission and Space Force’s defense posture.

Is space still the final frontier — or the newest battlefield?
Let’s get into it. ⚡️
