Show notes

The first time our podcast producer met Marco Langbroek in September 2025, he told her always to carry cash. That’s because financial transactions, which rely on satellites, could be disrupted by what he is seeing in space. 


A lecturer of space situational awareness at TU Delft in the Netherlands, Langbroek is an expert in tracking spy satellites.
