Space Madness Podcast Episode 57: Satellite Racing; the First Sport in Space!

The idea of racing in space may seem like a sci-fi fantasy, but it’s rooted in humanity's longstanding love for competition. From racing cars to horses, we have always sought to push the limits of speed. However, while other forms of transportation have seen organized competitions shortly after their invention, space has lagged behind. The average time from technological invention to the first organized race for cars and planes is around 11 years, whereas space has remained dormant for over 60 years. In this post, we explore the innovative idea of satellite racing, its historical context, and the potential it holds for the future of sports.
