Ep. 15 - Why the Space Sector is Complicit w/ Sahba El-Shawa and Giuliana Rotola

The concept of dual-use has been around since the first satellite was launched into space. The relationship between space, national security, and the military-industrial complex is often taken for granted, but it shouldn't be. On this episode, Sahba El-Shawa and Giuliana Rotola critique the space industry's complicity in militarism around the world.
