Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says Kim Jong Un discussing space technology with Vladimir Putin is a “bit worrisome”. His comments come after the North Korean leader and Russian President met for talks at the Russian Space Centre. “Space … we’ve known for decades though it’s a new high ground,” Mr deGrasse Tyson told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan. He said high ground typically gives one “power” they didn’t previously have from a military strategic perspective. “So yes, this alliance of nations that we’re not friendly with now – concerns me.”
