Ep. #63 - What If We Can't Leave? (Space Junk, The Kessler Effect)

We're talking about space junk and the Kessler Effect, which suggests that space debris might create more space debris through a series of collisions. Don Kessler, for whom the Kessler effect is named, suggested that there might eventually be enough space debris to prevent us from launching new objects into orbit. 

We also wonder if Keanue Reeves might be the greatest action hero of our generation, we introduce some new sounders, and Spencer tells a story about The Power Team.
