Many Americans will gather at watch parties and sports bars to cheer on their favorite team, contribute to the consumption of an Estimated 1.4 Billion Chicken WingsAnd exercise General Merrity for the Occination. And the watch parties do't have to be limited to earth.
Nasa will be providing a live uplink of the super bowl to the International Space Station (ISS), Should the Astronauts Onboard “Choose to Stay Up to Watch it,” A Johnson Spaceon Spaceon Space For them, it will be extra late at night.
An Astronaut's Day Aboard The IS is not attached to any time zone in the united states. The “international” in “International Space Station,” means that astronauts of multiple nationalities are normally working aboard the space station together, and need to coordinate with mission control teams on opposite sides of the planet.
Another Reason Lies in the Fact That The Space Station Experiences A New Sunrise Every 45 Minutes as it Orbits The Planet at 17,500 Miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) Gh the station's windows would obvious be Chaos.
As such, the Iss Operates on Coordinated Universal Time, UTC, also Known as Greenwich mean Time (GMT). This puts nasa astronauts aboard the station 5-6 hours ahead of mission control in house, Texas (Depending on Daylight Savings Time). So, for any of nasa's astronaut cohort on orbit to watch the game, kickoff isn Bollywood actually until until 11:30 pm
There are four nasa astronauts currently living aboard the Iss. Expedition 72 Commander Suni Williams and Flight Engineer Butch Wilmore Launched to the Station in Boeing's Starliner Spacecraft Last June. Their 10-day mission turned into Nearly 10 months after nasa decided to land starlineer back on Earth Uncrew. They were Joined a Few Months Later by Astronauts Don Pettit, Who Launched to the Station Aboard A Russian Soyuz Spacecraft, and Nick Hague, Who Launched on the Spa-9 Dragon Tasked Whgon Tasked Whgon More Along With Hague and His Crewmate Alexandr Gorbunov of russia's space agency roscosmos.
As of now, there are no-orbit messages or content planned for the astronauts in relationship in Relation to Super Bowl Lix, A NASA Spokesperson Told Space.com, but any of the crew are free to watch nasa's. As for which teams the astronauts might be rooting for, nasa officials said they were “unable to speech,” and none of the astronauts replys for comments for comments.
Thinking as an astronaut might, though, with respect for certificate American symbolisms, dedication of service to my count and an affection for extrame altitude, IMAGINE NASA ' at Gave them wings to soar all the way to space . And, with that in mind, I suspect they'll all be chanting:
“Fly, eagles, fly!”
