10 Space & Football Facts You Probably Didn’t Know
There are more connections between space and football than you may have originally thought. Here are a few examples of how…
1. The International Space Station and a football field are basically the same size
Yes, that’s right! The International Space Station measures 357 feet end-to-end. That’s almost equivalent to the length of a football field including the end zones (360 feet).
2. It would take over 4,000 footballs to fill the Orion spacecraft
Our Orion spacecraft is being designed to carry astronauts to deep space destinations, like Mars! It will launch atop the most powerful rocket ever built, the Space Launch System rocket. If you were to fill the Orion spacecraft with footballs instead of crew members, you would fit a total of 4,625!
3. Our new Space Launch System rocket is taller than a football field is long
We’re building the most powerful rocket ever, the Space Launch System. At its full height it will stand 384 feet – 24 feet taller than a football field is long.
4. The crew living on space station will see the day begin and end…twice…during the Super Bowl
An average NFL game lasts more than three hours. Traveling at 17,500 mph, the crew on the space station will see two sunrises and two sunsets in that time…they see 16 sunrises and sunsets each day!
5. Playing football on Mars would be…lighter
On Mars, a football would weigh less than half a pound, while a 200-pund football player would weigh just about 75 pounds.
6. It would take over 3,000 hours for a football to reach the Moon
Talk about going long…if you threw a football to the Moon at 60 mph, the average speed of an NFL pass, it would take 3,982 hours, or 166 days, to get there. The quickest trip to the Moon was the New Horizons probe, which zipped pass the Moon in just 8 hours 35 minutes on its way to Pluto
7. The longest field goal kick in history would’ve been WAY easier to make on Mars
The longest field goal kick in NFL history is 64 yards. On Mars, at 1/3 the gravity of Earth, that same field goal, ignoring air resistance, could have been made from almost two football fields away (192 yards).
8. A quarterback would be able to throw even further on Mars
Aerodynamic drag doesn’t happen on Mars. With a very thin atmosphere and low gravity to drag the ball down, a quarterback could throw the football three times as far as he could on Earth. A receiver would have to be much further down the field to catch the throw
9. Football players and astronauts both need to exercise every day
Football players must be quick and powerful, honing the physical skills necessary for their unique positions. In space, maintaining physical fitness is a top priority, since astronauts will lose bone and muscle mass if they do not keep up their strength and conditioning.
10. Clear team communication is important on the football field AND in space
During football games, calling plays and relaying information from coaches on the sidelines or in the booth to players on the field is essential. Coaches communicate directly with quarterbacks and a defensive player between plays via radio frequencies. They must have a secure and reliable system that keeps their competitors from listening in and also keeps loud fan excitement from drowning out what can be heard. Likewise, reliable communication with astronauts in space and robotic spacecraft exploring far into the solar system is key to our mission success.
A radio and satellite communications network allows space station crew members to talk to the ground-based team at control centers, and for those centers to send commands to the orbital complex.

ok guys help
if an older man keeps buying you and your mom things, and keeps taking you on vacation without you really wanting to is he being both of our sugar daddy? or just one and trying to play it cool? hypothetically, of course.

Yknow what, assuming ghosts are real, and i died and became a ghost, i’d be pretty fucking pissed. I was promised nonexistence after death and yet the mortal coil hangs even that above my head. No more thinking or worrying, just eternal rest. Ripped away from me. Like. How fucking dare you?
Blue sea snail (Chromodoris willanii), a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk.It is most common in the seas of various islands of Indonesia. You can also find them near the shores of Philippines. Chromodoris Wilani is a sponge eater. They feed on Semitaspongia groups of sponges.
so
you see a lot of movies about how dangerous space is and aliens attacking the planet and being really hostile or attacking our spaceships and what not but
you know what’s really terrifying?
the ocean.
i’m not talking about sharks or jellyfish or even the creepy anglerfish
i’m talking about what we can’t see, like why are there not more movies about the deep ocean? “oh, because we don’t know what’s down ther—“
you don’t know what’s out there either and there are four alien movies, two AVP movies and at least two predator movies!
you want horror? let’s leave the sharks alone and have a submarine crash at the bottom of the ocean floor, let’s have scuba divers trying to catch a rare fish and finder a monster

When Rockstar first released Grand Theft Auto, they actually paid reviewers to negatively review the game in order to keep it controversial, and therefore popular. They targeted right wing news papers to ensure moral outrage and drive the game to success.
ordered a binder and i’m excited but bummed it’s taking so long to get here
