The Nationwide Soccer League’s annual Tremendous Bowl tv telecast is virtually a nationwide vacation and historically some of the watched sporting occasions on the planet, with roughly 200 million followers all over the world in 130 nations tuning in to cheer on their favourite squads.
On Sunday, NASA’s mission management on the Johnson Area Middle in Houston will beam the Tremendous Bowl LX showdown between Seattle and New England to the three remaining individuals aboard the ISS. That trio consists of simply NASA’s Christopher Williams and cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikayev of Russia’s area company Roscosmos. Final month’s first-ever medical evacuation of SpaceX Crew-11 introduced NASA’s Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, Japan’s Kimiya Yui, and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov safely again to Earth on Jan. 15., leaving simply three on the orbital lab.
Nevertheless it’ll be a late night time affair for the astronauts circling the globe at 17,500 mph (28,000 km/h) some 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth, since life aboard the area station operates on a set Coordinated Common Time (UTC) schedule and never any single nation’s time zone, which implies that kickoff will not happen till 11:30 p.m. for the orbiting crew.
Any allegiances to either the Seattle Seahawk or the New England Patriots for the three left on the ISS is pure speculation, but since the pair of Roscosmos astronauts were raised in Russia they might not follow American football as closely but are certainly free to cheer for either team.
Christopher Williams has both west coast and east coast affiliations having been born in New York City but received his bachelor’s degree at Stanford University in Palo Alto, just down the road from Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium where the game will be played.
