Ep. #908: Christopher Lee Jones – Kessler Effect

With more space junk crowding Earth’s orbit than ever before, the threat of impact is growing increasingly serious. Satellites are being damaged or destroyed by collisions, and it may only be a matter of time before falling debris endangers aircraft. Such incidents could trigger a cascading chain reaction known as the Kessler Effect. Jeremy and Christopher Lee Jones explore the potential consequences for life on Earth and whether we’re truly prepared to prevent or respond to a scenario like this.
