Lasers. Nukes. Debris traveling at 17,000 mph. Welcome to the future of war—where your enemies are silent, your orbit is cluttered, and one wrong move can turn a billion-dollar satellite into cosmic confetti. In this episode of AI Investigates, we dive headfirst into the physics and fiction of space combat. From Reddit debates to real-world defense papers, we unpack how plausible it really is to fight above the stratosphere, why nukes in orbit are a terrible idea, and how stealth works (or doesn’t) in the vacuum of space. If you've ever wondered what Star Wars might look like without the sound effects—this one's for you.
