SR 144: Astronomers vs SpaceX: FIGHT

Space Radio

This week on Space Radio Live I rant… errrr, talk… about the Pro (yes, singular,) and Cons of having thousands of small communication satellites orbiting the Earth. I also answer some viewer questions, including:

► Why are scientists so surprised to find galaxies at the edge of the observable Universe?

► How the inherent nature of Space-Time impacts Earth-based observations using light that has just arrived here;

► … and much more.
