SpaceX and OneWeb face off in quest for internet domination

In what has already been a busy year in space, the London-based telecommunications company, OneWeb, on Friday launched a second round of satellites into orbit in a bid to expand global internet coverage. The launch followed the return of NASA astronaut Christina Koch, who broke a spaceflight record for female astronauts. The Verge science reporter Loren Grush joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss.
