In this week’s episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Akhil Rao, a professor of economics at Middlebury College, about the use and management of Earth’s orbit. Rao outlines the significant increase in the number of objects orbiting the Earth in recent decades, challenges caused by this accumulation, and governance of the various layers of Earth’s orbit by countries and international organizations. Rao and Raimi also discuss the management of space as a resource, which is the subject of Rao’s current research on space sustainability technologies.

Satellites of War

Why Climate Change Means Fewer Satellites. That story and more on H2O Radio’s weekly news report.

Headlines:

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency announced it will undo 31 landmark regulations meant to protect clean air and water.

The Supreme Court rejected a Republican-led effort to halt climate change lawsuits.

Climate change will reduce the available space in Earth’s atmosphere to launch satellites.

The In Sound Company returns to Delights with a new comic-themed double-sider.

Shay Landa and Markey Funk reunited with power duo Left for another studio jam and cooked two new cuts of groovy psychsploitation. 
The A-side "Spaceman Spiff" is a banging ode to the cult comic-within-a-comic intergalactic explorer, led by Rotem Bahar (Şatellites, Itamou) on flute.
On the flip, the Company gets heavier and delivers a piece of raging fuzz-meets-synths crime funk, "Stunt Double".
