So this is pretty sweet: NASA Capt. Barry Wilmore, on board the International Space Station, managed to get a feed of the Texans-Titans game sent up into space:
The ISS orbits at about 260 miles above the earth, and circled the globe twice during the three-hour game length. Wilmore, a Tennessee resident, had asked earlier about getting NASA to arrange for an uplink of the SEC Network so that he could watch the Tennessee Volunteers play football.
Unfortunately, Houston proved to be a problem for Tennessee, defeating the Titans 45-21. On the plus side, though, Wilmore may be the only human being out of reach of JJ Watt.
