War on sattelites
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.
