SPP #1 - How satellites shape our civilisation

Satellites are everywhere. At night, you can see some of them moving quickly across the dark sky. But they are also in our phones, on our vacations, and on our plates. Modern civilization wouldn’t be possible without satellites. That’s why, in our first episode of this citizen’s guide to democracy in orbit, we are taking a closer look at the basis of human activity in space. Satellites are our spaceships that vary in size, distance, and functionality. But besides the immense positive impact these marvels of engineering have, there is also a dark side and a catastrophe on the horizon. Tune in to Space, Power, People to get the full picture and understand why satellites mean power and why trash endangers our civilization.
