Episode 13: Space Junk - Space Espionage (with Dr Vince Houghton) - Part 1

In this episode, I chat to Dr Vince Houghton, the chief historian and curator of the International Spy Museum in DC and the host of their podcast 'SpyCast' about Space Espionage, and Space-enabled spying.

Dr Houghton specializes in military and intelligence history, with specific expertise on late-WWII and early-Cold War eras. He is a veteran of the US army and served in the Balkans before receiving his Masters and PhD in Diplomatic and Military History from the University of Maryland.

We talk about nuclear weapons, cyber warfare, MAD, space surveillance, and why your social media account might be a liability.
