Part 8/9:
Hampton wraps up his dialogue by contemplating the ongoing militarization of space, led prominently by figures like Elon Musk. He critiques the prioritization of funding for space exploration and military enhancement amidst the struggles of citizens during a health crisis. By questioning the rationale behind such actions, he incites skepticism about the motivations of current governance structures.
Referencing historical narratives and figures like Stanley Meyer—an inventor of a water-powered car who mysteriously died—Hampton suggests that innovative technologies that could disrupt status quo power dynamics are systematically suppressed or appropriated for militaristic purposes.
