Kevin Cirilli sits down with Damon Feltman, newly named incoming CEO of the Space Force Association, at the Space Power Conference in Orlando.

Fresh off his appointment, Feltman pulls back the curtain on what the U.S. Space Force actually does — and why it matters far beyond rockets and satellites. From the handful of 20-somethings quietly running the world’s GPS system, to the way space underpins banking, communications, weather, national defense, and daily life, this conversation reframes space as the invisible infrastructure of modern civilization.

Kevin and Feltman explore how Guardians are trained for immense responsibility, how virtual and augmented reality are reshaping military readiness, and why space has become the next great arena for AI, cloud computing, energy, and economic competition. They also dig into the global stakes: China’s ambitions in space, the battle over norms and governance beyond Earth, and why protecting space is inseparable from protecting the future of liberal democracy.

This episode is a rare inside look at a six-year-old service shaping the next industrial revolution — and a reminder that when we talk about the future, we’re really talking about space.

Kevin Cirilli hops on the Magic School Bus of the future with Terry Poon to explore one of the coolest ideas in medicine: a digital twin — a tiny computer version of you that lives in your phone and learns everything about your body. This AI twin watches your steps, your sleep, your snacks, your stress, and even how your body reacts to certain foods. Then it talks to you like a super-smart helper that says, “Hey, if you eat this, your blood sugar will be happy,” or “Time to move a little!” Kevin and Terry break down how this mini-you can predict what meals are good for you, help you make choices that keep you strong, and even talk to your doctor so you don’t have to. It’s science fiction that’s already real — an AI friend made just for your body.
