Arthel Neville welcomes former U.S. Defense Intelligence Officer Rebekah Koffler to discuss the massive global cyberattack that had impacted several federal agencies. The next big war may be fought in space. As the Pentagon is gearing up for a future celestial conflict, so are our chief adversaries, China and Russia. Here's why "Star Wars" is no longer merely a topic of science fiction. The best way to avoid space warfare is to be ready for it. On Dec. 28, Elon Musk's Space X launched into space the Pentagon's highly secretive X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, an unmanned reusable robotic spacecraft operated by the Air Force, in collaboration with Space Force.

Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino explains NASA's DART mission and why they intentionally crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid A coolant leak detected from the aft end of the Russian space capsule docked to the International Space Station was likely caused by a micrometeorite strike, according to a Russian space official. Sergei Krikalev, a veteran cosmonaut who serves as the director of crewed space flight programs at Roscosmos, said Thursday that a meteorite striking one of the radiators of the Soyuz MS-22 capsule could have caused the coolant to escape. Krikalev said in a statement that the malfunction could affect the performance of the capsule's coolant system and the temperature in the equipment section of the capsule. Roscosmos and NASA have both said that the incident had not posed any danger to the station's crew. "There have been no other changes in parameters on the Soyuz spacecraft and the station, so there is no threat for the crew," he said.
