Oh, there it is! 🚀
In today's news brief for OnlySky, I most certainly do *not* escalate nuclear panic, but I do offer a wee explainer around the extremely important issue of satellite warfare & orbital security that's been lost in this weekls talk of nuclear threats in Congress.
There *is* a danger in our skies--but it might not be the one you're thinking of, when the word "nuclear" comes to mind. We can't let fearmongering keep us from setting better policy in space.

Ugh. Replaced one typo in the above toot, and a new one arrived - but too late now. Letting it go.
There are some very good official reports linked in the piece, if anyone's inclined to do a deep dive. As always, my aim was to write in a way that makes the issue accessible. There's a lot more that could have been said, but hopefully this gets most important broad strokes across.

I'm fluent in Typo. As long as the link works...it be A OK
