What can we do about space debris?

There are tens of thousands of pieces of space junk hurtling around our planet at terrifying speeds. This debris—dead satellites, bits of old spacecraft, etc.—pose a real danger to humans who travel to space and to the technologies we use every day here on Earth. Privateer co-founder Moriba Jah talks to Cady & Andrew about addressing this urgent challenge. SPOILER: Empathy is part of the solution. Also, NASA’s DART mission boops an asteroid, Andrew is migrating south, and a new Sounds of Space brought to you by the great folks at SYSTEM Sounds.
