About this episode
China recently completed a successful test of a hypersonic missile, and the media has been comparing its accomplishment to when the Soviet Union beat the US to space by launching Sputnik.
Today we breakdown what a hypersonic missile is, how it works, and whether it lives up to the hype. We also compare the current arms race for hypersonic missiles to the “missile gap” arms race during the cold war.
