Space Revolution Ep. 1: In the Beginning, There Was Truth

Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast launches the inaugural episode of Space Revolution with guest Chris Paul by framing the series as a journey of discovery centered on truth, humility, and human curiosity. The conversation explores why a new space revolution is underway and how advances in space-based technology, information systems, and computing will directly affect everyday life. Using GPS as a practical example, Steve explains how space has already reshaped global economies, infrastructure, and daily convenience, while also introducing the risks of dependency, surveillance, and misuse by bad actors. Together, Steve and Chris examine the double-edged nature of technology, the importance of moral grounding, and the need to protect privacy, free will, and civil liberties as innovation accelerates. The discussion expands into quantum theory, artificial intelligence, decentralization, and spirituality, emphasizing that machines can never replace human consciousness, creativity, or moral judgment. The episode closes by challenging listeners to ask better questions, pursue truth with humility, and prepare for a future where space becomes the high ground for information, energy, and resources.
