Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson discusses US intelligence on Russia's development of anti-satellite capability, expressing skepticism about the danger it poses.

The White House confirmed that the national security threat flagged by the House Intelligence Committee chairman is related to Russia's development of anti-satellite capability, emphasizing that it's not an active deployed capability and does not pose an immediate threat. The lack of details about the threat has led to criticism of the chairman, with some suggesting his motivation was to garner support for additional funding for Ukraine. The US is in the process of engaging Russia in conversations about its anti-satellite capabilities and has serious concerns about broad declassification of intelligence related to the threat.
