1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Outer space isn’t about to be militarized, it’s been militarized for decades, and as China, Russia and the U.S. race to outdo each other in a new domain of battle, the world is waking up to the risks that war in space pose for everyone back on Earth. When destroying a satellite with a missile or laser can bring communications networks and financial institutions to a halt – effectively shutting off countries from the world or businesses from markets – it’s troubling just how few rules exist to stop that from happening. This week on Wake we’ll look at a new U.S. report on the space arms race and discuss efforts to try and stop it. Helping us do that is this week's guest: Theresa Hitchens, senior research associate, Center for International and Security Studies, University of Maryland If you enjoy this discussion, follow Wake on Twitter @WakeOnAir.
