00:00If you're a climate enthusiast, you need to hear what happened to MethaneSat, and why its story isn't over.

00:07MethaneSat, backed by Jeff Bezos' Earth Fund and launched in 2024, was built to reveal the world's worst methane polluters.

00:15In just over a year, it uncovered super emitters, with leaks in Texas up to five times higher than official estimates,

00:22and the South Caspian region blowing past records.

00:25Why does that matter?

00:26Methane is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat over 20 years.

00:32Then, around June 20th, everything went dark.

00:35The $88 million satellite lost power over Norway, and is now unrecoverable.

00:41Still, the Environmental Defense Fund calls this a setback, not a failure.

00:46MethaneSat proved that high-res tracking from space is possible, and set a new standard for climate accountability.

00:53The mission continues. Buy air for now.

00:56And the legacy? A clearer path to a cooler planet.

01:00Stay tuned. Space isn't done teaching us yet.
