428 | Tim Marshall: The Astropolitics Era - The U.S., China, Russia, Elon Musk, and the New Space Race
Tim Marshall, geopolitics expert and author of The Future of Geography: How the Competition in Space Will Change Our World, returns to The Realignment. Tim and Marshall discuss how nation-states like the U.S., China, and Russia are navigating the new space race, where private companies such as Elon Musk's SpaceX will run-up against state power and earthbound conflict, the Starlink service's impact on the ground and at sea in Ukraine, and the promise of a space-driven future for humanity.
