Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. Anthony Vinci — author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of espionage and the Battle to Save America — for a mind-bending look at the future of espionage beyond Earth. From the British Empire’s Great Game to the new space race, exploration and intelligence have always gone hand in hand. Vinci explains how the world’s oldest profession — spying — is evolving into a multi-planetary mission. Satellites now map and monitor the globe in real time; private companies launch fleets of micro-sensors; and entire intelligence budgets are shifting from sea level to low-Earth orbit. But as SpaceX builds spy constellations, China lands probes on the far side of the Moon, and the U.S. Space Force becomes America’s newest intelligence agency, one question looms: who will control the high ground of the heavens? From lunar reconnaissance to asteroid mining, Vinci argues that the next front line of intelligence won’t be on Earth — it’ll be above it. Because wherever humanity goes, spies follow. The truth is out there. Literally.

This Thanksgiving, while millions of Americans pack airports, HELLO FUTURE looks at how we’ll travel in the skies of tomorrow. Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. Kurt Barnhart, executive director of Kansas State’s Applied Aviation Research Center and one of the nation’s leading experts on aerospace systems, to talk about the next era of air travel — hypersonic and supersonic flight. From planes that could cross the Atlantic in under two hours to engines designed to slice through the stratosphere at five times the speed of sound, Kevin and Dr. Barnhart explore how the race for faster, cleaner, and more efficient travel could change everything from family holidays to global trade. Why it matters: hypersonic flight isn’t just for the military — it could one day redefine what it means to “fly home for the holidays.”
