War on sattelites

Fair Game
The World

Jason Mantzoukas, our Fair Game news analyst, joins Faith to talk about the US military’s biggest victory in recent months. Not the war in Iraq or in Afghanistan but the war we didn’t even know we were fighting: the one against our own technology in space. Yesterday we shot down one of our own spy satellites that had failed and was plummeting to earth with a tank full of toxic rocket fuel.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
