Ep 7. Grounded / Satellite Starling

Grounded / Satellite Starling is the 7th episode of Space Racers' first season. In this episode, the cadets are getting ready for their next big assignment -- they are responsible for communication during the Starling Satellite launch. However, Eagle has a different idea - she wants to fly the Satellite herself and become the first cadet ever to launch a satellite.

Meanwhile, Robyn is excited to take a trip to Earth, but Starling's launch delay means they may have to stay on SSR for a while. Eagle is determined to launch the Satellite, but her overconfidence creates a dangerous situation for her and the satellite. She loses control and crashes the satellite into a giant rock formation that she calls Eagle Rock.

Eagle soon realizes that her ambition to be the first cadet to launch a satellite led her to take a risk that put her and her mission in danger. She learns to own up to her mistakes and understand that teamwork is more important than individual accomplishments.

Robyn, on the other hand, is feeling sad and hopeless that she cannot go back home to Earth as planned. However, thanks to the help of her friends, she learns to appreciate the wonderful things SSR has to offer and to enjoy what's there in the moment.

Throughout the episode, the young cadets learn important lessons about responsibility, teamwork, and determination. It showcases the importance of working together as a team to achieve a common goal.
