A long-lasting rivalry that first reached outer space almost 60 years ago is bringing NASA's history onto the football field as part of this year's Army-Navy Game.
First played in 1890, the classic matchup between the Army Black Knights of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York and the Navy Midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland will highlight one of the service's contributions to the U.S. space program(opens in new tab) when the two teams meet at the 50-yard line on Saturday (Dec. 11).
As revealed last month, Navy Athletics and Under Armor created an astronaut-themed uniform for the Midshipmen to wear during the 123rd playing of the Army-Navy Game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. CBS will air the game on national television beginning at 3 p.m. EST (2000 GMT).
