Moscow's moon mission ends in disaster, interview with NASA astronaut & podcast team sanctioned by Russia

Day 543.


Today, we bring you the latest updates from the battlefront,
analyse the vital decision over the weekend to send fighter
planes to Ukraine, and interview Former NASA Astronaut and test
fighter pilot, Terry Virts. He speaks about his experience
working with Russian cosmonauts, the moment he saw the 2014 war
break out from space, and the West’s strategic thinking regarding
Ukraine. Plus, we update listeners on our plans for the US trip,
and how the podcast team has been sanctioned by the Kremlin.
