The excitement of Super Bowl LVIII managed toreach even outer space. Sharing a post on X on Saturday (Feb 10), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) uploaded a video of two astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) tossing a football in zero gravity, gearing up for the showdown betweenKansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl with a 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers.
"Getting some reps in before Super Bowl Sunday," NASA said. The astronauts in the video are Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara- the crew of the Expedition 70 mission. The video shows Moghbeli tossing the football at a camera. Surrounded by laptops, cables, and other equipment, Moghbeli and O'Hara can be seen laughing as the football bounces off something off-screen and comes back.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) also joined the celebrations for Superbowl Sunday. Sharing a post on X on Friday, the CSA posted a video of its Dextre robot wearing a t-shirt of a football referee. In the animated video, Dextre, the ISS' Canadian robotic helper, could be seen signalling a touchdown.
"A new referee has a fantastic view from space! Dextre, the Space_Station Canadian robotic helper, wishes you a great Super Bowl LVIII this Sunday!" the CSA said.
The Super Bowl LVIII was in overtime after the Kansas City Chiefs kicked a field goal late in the game to tie with the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs won against the 49ers in what many deemed a rematch championship game. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, head coach Andy Reid and the rest of the Chiefs became the first repeat champions in two decades.
