Ian Frazier Among the Drone Racers

O tym odcinku

<p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/ian-frazier"><span>Ian Frazier</span></a><span>, who has chronicled American life for </span><i><span>The New Yorker</span></i><span> for more than forty years, travelled to a house in Fort Collins, Colorado, where three roommates build, fly, and race drones. Jordan Temkin, Zachry Thayer, and Travis McIntyre are three of perhaps only fifty professional drone racers in the world, piloting the tiny devices through complex courses at upward of eighty miles an hour. Drones have had an enormous impact on military strategy, and the commercial applications seem limitless, but, for these pilots, drones exist in the strange overlap between pure adrenaline and big money that defines pro sports.</span></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
