WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — NASA’s chief on Tuesday tried to rally Team USA players in this year’s World Cup tournament, promising to send a soccer ball to the Moon if they win it all.
“That’s the challenge, okay, so Team USA, get the job done,” NASA head Jared Isaacman said during an event detailing the US space agency’s plans for a base on the Moon.
NASA has already sent a FIFA ball to the International Space Station as the US jointly hosts the 2026 tournament with Mexico and Canada.
