ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Are we safe hovering in the unknown? Harvard researcher and former assistant director for Space Policy at the White House, Ezinne Uzo-Okoro, is the guest of this «It's not that simple» edition.
In this conversation, Ezinne explains how satellites and space technology are already protecting lives on Earth - from monitoring the climate to anticipating disasters.
But she also discusses the real risks we face: space junk, the increasing privatisation of space and the lack of clear global regulation.
With the end of the International Space Station planned for 2030 and new commercial players entering orbit, the Space Policy advisor raises the question: are we prepared for this new space race?
Exploring space is no longer science fiction - it's a matter of survival.
