Less than one hundred miles above our heads is where some of the most valuable real estate in the universe lives: Low Earth Orbit. This is an extraterrestrial land grab, a galactic Wild West where the cowboys are visionaries, tinkerers, and capitalists dead set on owning the future. From spaceports at the edge of the earth to local communities that are being transformed and upended by these technologies, Wild Wild Space thrusts the audience into this critical and unknown world. Wild Wild Space focuses on the intense rivalry between two visionaries and founders of contesting rocket companies, Chris Kemp and Peter Beck. Their mission transcends mere competition; it's a strategic bid to outdo each other, disrupt Elon Musk's cosmic dominance, and claim significant shares in the burgeoning space industry. Amidst triumphs and challenges, Kemp and Beck usher in a new era for space exploration in Lower Earth Orbit and beyond. The stakes rise as they race against time to deploy commercial satellites for prestigious clients, including Planet Labs, led by visionary Will Marshall, encapsulating their shared goal - to redefine space, one satellite launch at a time.
