    Navigating Space Command's Future: Insights with Gen. Stephen Whiting

    Episode Recorded Friday, Febuary 27th, 2026 In this episode of the Spacepower, host Bill Woolf sits down with Gen. Stephen Whiting, Commander of U.S. Space Command, to discuss the growing importance of space in the Indo-Pacific and how the United States is preparing for an increasingly contested space domain. From missile warning and satellite communications to precision navigation and intelligence, space systems underpin nearly every aspect of modern military operations. As strategic competition intensifies, ensuring those capabilities remain resilient and available to the joint force has become a central mission for U.S. Space Command. Gen. Whiting shares insights on the evolving counterspace environment, the role of international partnerships in maintaining a stable space domain, and how the command is thinking about deterrence and readiness in the years ahead. This conversation is part of the newly upgraded Spacepower Podcast, bringing deeper conversations with the leaders, operators, and thinkers shaping the future of national security in space. Listen in for a thoughtful discussion on how spacepower is shaping the strategic landscape today and what it means for the future of global security.

    EP37: Interview with Christopher Fedele, Business Development Director, L3 Harris

    Spacepower Podcast – Propulsion Trends & Maneuverability with L3Harris’ Chris FedeleIn this episode, host Bill Woolf speaks with Chris Fedele, a senior leader in propulsion and national security space at L3Harris. With over 30 years supporting land, sea, air, and space missions, Chris discusses how propulsion technologies are rapidly evolving to meet today’s contested space environment.Chris highlights how propulsion enables agility, survivability, and resilience for U.S. space systems. He explains the shift from predictable, long-duration orbits to highly maneuverable systems capable of avoiding threats, repositioning quickly, and sustaining operations in increasingly hostile environments.Key technologies discussed include electric propulsion, high‑performance propellants, VLEO maneuverability, and L3Harris’ leadership in nuclear thermal and nuclear electric propulsion — capabilities that will not only reshape national security space but accelerate NASA’s path to Mars.Chris also emphasizes cultural transformation inside L3Harris: empowering engineers, fostering innovation, challenging old assumptions, and embracing speed. He offers advice for early‑career space professionals: be bold, question the status quo, and contribute new ideas.The episode closes with a discussion about future collaboration, innovation hubs, and how industry and government must work together to outpace adversaries and secure the space domain.

    EP35: Interview with Dr. Jason "JW" Womack, Strategist, Leader Development for Operational Readiness, DAF

    In This Episode of the Spacepower Podcast, Dr. Jason Womack argues that mission readiness in the Space Force is inseparable from how leaders think, connect, reflect, and learn. Connection is operational. Reflection is strategic. Leadership is not about answers—but about building environments where better questions, better decisions, and better people emerge over time.Mission‑Ready Leadership with Dr. Jason “J.W.” WomackSpace Power Podcast | Host: Bill “Hippie” Woolf 1. Mission‑Ready Leadership Is a Daily DisciplineDr. Womack defines leadership not as inspiration but as an operational practice. Readiness shows up in daily thinking, acting, and adapting—especially when margins for error are thin.Mission‑ready leaders demonstrate:Mastery of Craft: Deep domain knowledge and continuous learning across disciplines.Effective Management & Advocacy: Ability to articulate needs, anticipate requirements, and build sound business cases.Understanding People: Awareness of multi‑generational motivations and adult‑learning principles.2. Reflection Drives GrowthHigh‑performing organizations often rush forward without pausing to learn.Womack stresses structured reflection using three questions:What happened?What happened as a result?What should we do more of—or stop doing—next time?Like the Weapons School model, meaningful debrief time is essential to improvement.3. Connection Is an Operational SkillConnection is not social activity—it’s a deliberate leadership behavior.People need connection to:Self (value & purpose)Mission (why their work matters)Each other (trust)Context (operational picture)Proximity alone doesn’t create trust. Leaders must intentionally connect people to meaning, information, and each other.
