Artemis II Astronaut Christina Koch Reveals She Took Eagles Super Bowl Confetti on Trip Around Moon

Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch revealed Tuesday that she took confetti from the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl LIX triumph on her recent voyage around the moon.

"Going to the moon may have been my Super Bowl, but I sure loved watching yours. (I watch Eagles games on Earth, too)," she wrote on Instagram. "My husband introduced me to this team and city—gritty, hard working and embodying the underdog mentality. Now I'm all in. As a surprise for him, I flew confetti from Super Bowl LIX around the Moon. Go Birds! Thank you, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, for the welcome home."

Hurts welcomed Koch and the Artemis II crew back to Earth after their journey on behalf of the Eagles:

Fly Eagles fly, on the road to infinity... and beyond.
