The announcement of the Houston Texans’ 130th pick in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft was, and will remain, literally astronomical as it took viewers to outer space. The broadcast featured Peggy Whitson, the record-holder for most consecutive days living in space, aboard the International Space Station before retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly announced the Texans’ selection from Space Center Houston. That moment was a glimpse into a small step that’s part of a giant leap for mankind. It was a very cool moment that peaked interest in space science for many much like National Space Day.
