UPDATE: Well, look at this:

NASA began fueling Endeavour on Sunday night just as the Super Bowl was kicking off to the south in Miami. The shuttle crew did not watch the game — neither did the launch team — but it was beamed up to the space station in case anyone there wanted to watch it.

Endeavour's launch also was broadcast to the space station residents, who got to watch it live.

Launch manager Mike Moses said he got "evil glares" in the control center for making his team report to work on Super Bowl night. He noted that the shuttle's fuel tank was made in New Orleans. "They were at least happy with the results of the game," he said with a smile.

The coin used in the opening toss flew to the space station in November, aboard Atlantis.

Coincidences abound! 

 UPDATE: SoapFan reminds us that "Who Are You" is the theme song to CSI, one of the jewels in the crown of the Gus Grissom Cult. It's probably no coincidence that CSI:Miami has a space theme tonight.
