The Pulse Wave
⚡ Defense tech meets dysfunction.
Hosted by Virgil Virga, The Pulse Wave is where sharp satire meets serious analysis on the state of American defense, readiness, innovation, and government gridlock. Each episode cuts through the noise with bold takes, fast-paced panel banter, and zero tolerance for bureaucratic BS.
Whether it's recruiting wars, AI myths, shutdown fights, or military standards gone soft — we're talking about it. With guests who actually know the space and co-hosts who don’t pull punches.
Built for Earth.
Ready for orbit.
And built for a country trying to figure out the difference between defense and dysfunction.

Space Race, ASAT Weapons and the Future of Orbit w Michelle Lucas
Welcome to The Pulse Wave— where we build mission-critical tech to harden America’s land, sea, and skies. Built for Earth. Ready for orbit. 🌎🚀
In this episode, Virgil sits down with Michelle Lucas, former NASA flight controller and founder of Higher Orbits, and co-host Tommy Weinert (Mount Indy) to talk about the new frontier of space conflict and exploration.
We break down:
Russia’s tumbling anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon and what it means for global security.
China’s crewed lunar lander test and the risks of losing the moon race.
Japan’s wooden satellite experiment and the future of space sustainability.
Space junk re-entry (including a Kenyan village incident!) and why more orbital debris is inevitable.
The blurred lines between NASA’s civil mission and Space Force’s defense posture.
Is space still the final frontier — or the newest battlefield?
Let’s get into it. ⚡️
