Are you ready to catch a big game? On Sunday (February 9th), American and American football fans across the United States and around the world will be watching the top two teams of the National Football League (NFL) head-on on the Ultimate Post Post. Seasonal games, and even astronauts living in space, have the opportunity to watch the action live.
On Sunday evening, the Kansas City Chiefs’ American Football Conference (AFC) champion will face the National Football Conference (NFC) champion, the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl Ricks. The big matchup kickoff is scheduled for 6:30pm (2330 GMT) and is offered by Fox Broadcasting Company.
Many Americans gather at watch parties and sports bars to cheer on their favorite teams, contribute to the consumption of an estimated 1.4 billion chicken wings, and exercise the general pleasures at the opportunity. And watch parties don’t have to be limited to Earth.
NASA will provide the Super Bowl live-up link to the International Space Station (ISS). If an astronaut “choose to stand up to see it,” Johnson Space Center officials told Space.com. For them, it will be late at night.
Astronaut Day on the ISS is not adjusted to any time zone in the US. “International” on the International Space Station means that astronauts of multiple nationalities are usually mounted on the space station together, and must coordinate with mission control teams on the other side of the Earth.
Another reason lies in the fact that the space station orbits the planet at 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 km/h), resulting in a new sunrise every 45 minutes. That’s why it’s chaotic.
Therefore, the ISS operates at a tuned universal time, UTC, also known as Greenwich Average Time (GMT). This will allow NASA astronauts to board the station five to six hours before mission control in Houston, Texas (depending on daylight savings). Therefore, in any of the NASA astronaut cohorts on orbit to watch the game, there is no kickoff until 11:30pm
There are four NASA astronauts currently living in the ISS. Expedition 72 Commander Snie Williams and flight engineer Butch Willmore launched at Boeing’s Starliner spaceship station last June. Their 10-day mission has now come to almost ten months after NASA decided to bring Starliner back to Earth. They return Williams and Wilmore along with astronaut Don Pettit, who boards a Russian Soyuz spaceship to the station, and Hague and his crewmate Alexander Golbnobonobonobonobonobonobonobobon after returning Williams and Wilmore. Nick Hague, who launched SpaceX Crew-9 Dragon, was joined by the task of doing so. of the Russian space agency Roscosmos.
A NASA spokesperson told Space.com that at the moment there is no orbital message or content planned for astronauts for astronauts, but crews are free to NASA uplink You can see it in. NASA officials said they “can’t speculate” about which team the astronauts are rooting for, and none of the astronauts responded to requests for comment.
But when you think of it as an astronaut, by respecting the symbolism of a particular American, my dedication to service to my country, and my affinity for extreme altitude, we can make a team that will make NASA’s highest prizes soar all the way to space. I think it has to take root. . And with that in mind, I think they’re all chanting:
“Fly, Eagles, Fly!”
