Ever wonder why a bunch of satellites floating in the sky matters so much to your daily reality? Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast sits down with Chris Ponder to lay the groundwork for their new "Tools for Truth" series, starting with a crash course in orbital mechanics that's part physics lecture, part treasure map. They break down the difference between low Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and geosynchronous orbit, and why that distinction matters far beyond rocket science. Along the way, the conversation drifts into the difference between "intelligence" and "information," how ancient logic and rhetoric still hold the keys to discernment, and why space itself might be one of humanity's best shots at building an incorruptible ledger of truth. Expect big ideas, some fun visuals, and a reminder that this is a journey best taken one lesson at a time.
