Show Notes
In this episode of My Weird Prompts, Herman and Corn tackle a heavy question from their housemate Daniel: are we currently witnessing an overt war in space? Moving beyond the recent headlines of Chinese spy satellites imaging American defense systems, the brothers explore the "grey zone" of modern conflict. They discuss the subtle but dangerous tactics of GPS jamming, laser dazzling, and the chilling potential of the "Kessler Syndrome" making orbit unusable. From robotic arms capable of "death hugs" to the cyber-vulnerabilities of ground stations, this episode uncovers how the cosmos has already become a silent, high-stakes battlefield where the lines between civilian and military assets are increasingly blurred.
