The rapid surge in orbital launches could add 50,000 satellites by 2030, increasing risks like space junk, metallic pollution, and threats to science, security, and the environment. Join Space & Physics Editor @LeeBillings for a panel on space junk at #SDGLive during #UNGA.

It was fun recording this with @RachelFeltman & @ClaraMoskowitz. Huddle up, listen in, and get ready for more fantastic podcasts from @Weirdest_Thing & from @sciam.
(Also be ready for Rachel to do a flying slam jam elbow drop on @hankgreen & @johngreen off the turnbuckle).
