Actually, this is a pretty darned cool graphic, showing the relative size of the International Space Station and a (US) football field.
Originally shared by +NASA:
Did you know the International Space Station, including its large solar arrays, spans the area of a U.S. football field, including the end zones, and weighs over 900,000 pounds? The complex has more livable room than a conventional six-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms, a gymnasium and a 360-degree bay window. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/gU6Yl8
The big game on today will be broadcast during the space station astronauts’ sleep period. Flight controllers are expected to uplink the game to the crew, and they has the option to watch in real-time or later when time permits.
