The National Football League's annual Super Bowl television telecast is practically a national holiday and traditionally one of the most watched sporting events on the planet, with roughly 200 million fans around the world in 130 countries tuning in to cheer on their favorite squads.
On Sunday, NASA's mission control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston will beam the Super Bowl LX showdown between Seattle and New England to the three remaining people aboard the ISS. That trio consists of just NASA's Christopher Williams and cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikayev of Russia's space agency Roscosmos. Last month’s first-ever medical evacuation of SpaceX Crew-11 brought NASA's Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman, Japan's Kimiya Yui, and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov safely back to Earth on Jan. 15., leaving just three on the orbital lab.
