This week’s show tracks a single global pattern: when systems break down, the response is relocation and in some cases, epoxy.


In northern Sweden, Kiruna is being moved three kilometers east as mining by LKAB causes the ground to collapse beneath it. The $2 billion project is meant to secure iron ore and rare earths critical to Europe’s green transition - but it comes at the cost of uprooted families and erased history.  Oopsie.


In the Baltic Sea, Finland seizes a ship suspected of sabotaging undersea telecom cables, highlighting how infrastructure has become a new frontline amid rising fears of hybrid warfare.


Above the planet, SpaceX begins lowering more than 4,000 Starlink satellites to reduce debris risk and improve performance—bringing order to an increasingly crowded orbit.


And on the International Space Station, Roscosmos finally seals a long-leaking module, restoring full operations after years of a quiet and deadly danger.


From cities to cables to satellites, this episode is about what happens when staying put is no longer an option.
