The First Sport In Orbit | Could the future of sports happen in space?

Yeah, it's going great.

Thanks for having me on, Connor.

Good, good, good.

Looking forward to this discussion.

And I'm not going to lie, you're the first guest I've had that's creating an orbital space racing league.

So we're going to have a lot of firsts today.

And I'm looking forward to kind of hearing about the journey, what's going on, where you guys are at.

And so for the listeners and viewers who are, you know, hearing the Atlas Cup is what we're going with here.

For the first time, what should they expect? How do you explain it? You know, what is the Atlas Cup?

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, I appreciate that you mentioned there's a lot of firsts here because our corporate motto is first is everything.

Partially, of course, that's the racing aspect, but it's also the fact that we are building a truly new vertical in sport, right? This is absolutely not something that's been done before.

So we're introducing professional sports to space.

So we see this as a series of maneuver-based races in low Earth orbit.

So think...

America's Cup or F1 meets the space economy of today.

It's the fastest sport in history the moment we happen.

So back to the idea of firsts.

We want to work with Guinness Book of World Records to have a couple of records broken the moment we start producing sports content in space.

We're planning on starting to produce content in space in early 28, if not sooner.

But our inaugural Grand Prix is scheduled for 2028.

So think large performant chemical propulsion, i.e. rocket-powered spacecraft doing 17,000 miles an hour going down, left, right, center.

I think drone racing league in space effectively.

Awesome.
