Space X launched the Inspiration4 from the Kennedy Space Center and made it the first-ever orbital flight crewed only by tourists.

The space centre is around an hour away from Orlando's Exploria Stadium on Florida’s Atlantic coast.

But the rocket could be seen during the game from the stands — which made sensational viewing during the first half.

The match continued as normal throughout, and for Montreal fans the sight only got better.
