In this episode of Space Café Radio, Torsten Kriening sit down with Professor Michael Byers, co-director of the Outer Space Institute in Vancouver, to discuss pressing issues in space governance. Recorded at a scenic street café in Berlin, Michael sheds light on the potential future crisis in Earth's orbit, comparing it to the current plastic crisis in our oceans.
He talks about the mission and methods of the Outer Space Institute, the influence of academic research on policy-making, and the urgent need to address the environmental impact of space activities. Michael discusses topics ranging from space debris and mega constellations to international space policy and advocacy against kinetic anti-satellite weapon tests.
