    1. This really sounds like the “important” scientific achievements from the movie Idiocracy. Impressive but totally ignoring other problems in a crumbling society.

    2. If any of the astronauts are from Philly, prepare for that thing to get absolutely trashed no matter the outcome

    3. Elon is going to get Trump to issue an executive order to stop NASA from “wasting tax dollars.”

      NASA should beam Sunita Williams down to the game on every screen. Show Orange Mussollini women in space.

      ALL must suffer the multiple camera shots of Taytay in her private suite when KC and/or Kelce does good with the help of the referees.

    6. Well, first they’ll need to subscribe to YouTube TV and then do the immediate pairing with their Hulu account, but only if they’re using desktop link and not mobile. The mobile link-up requires a VPN and a small recurring bitcoin fee. But no matter what, they can’t use Disney+ login or else it will lock them out indefinitely. At that point they’ll have to subscribe to Peacock, but use the hidden “ad-free bonus” tier, which will allow them to hop onto their Roku to watch the game. The trick is that the pre-loaded ads will crash the system, so they’ll have to wait for the commercials to start, and then immediately spam F5 and power down the ISS module they are watching the game in. Since each module has its own power hub that is fed through the main electricity unit, they simply have to float to another part of the station and do a soft reboot of the air/power/water, after which they will get the signal back and they can keep watching. The trick is that once a module has been used once, the powers that be at the NFL will assume any other signals from the same location are pirate broadcasts. So each commercial break will require a move. There is limited space on the station, so by mid-game, after using all the modules in the station, they will have to do a spacewalk to get a fresh signal from somewhere near one of the solar arrays. Once those spots have all been used, NASA will have to do a small course correction of the whole station so they can trick the Super Bowl into thinking they’re at a new location. And if anything at all disrupts the signal, they’ll have to go to Apple TV to link all their accounts, but they can only do that through the PlayStation Network, which is hopefully back up. If PSN is not up then they’ll have to do another spacewalk, this time to fix the Sony satellite that will be passing by them at 1,400 miles per hour about 60 miles straight up from the ISS. Assuming everything goes well, they’ll be able to have a relaxing time enjoying the Big Game.

      (This has always been my experience watching the Super Bowl. It’s never easy.)

    7. I’m sure it’s being beamed into the Clarke Belt already, they can’t watch it from there? X)

    8. So they dont have anything to do but watch 4 hrs of a game for 10 minutes of actual gameplay?

    9. A little government waste, no? Entertaining and light, yes, but inconsistent with the coup’s stated agenda.
