Jeopardy! is celebrating its own 25th annniversary. Recently, host Alex Trebek won his fifth Daytime Emmy for the brainiac show.
This isn't the first time the show and NASA have hooked up. Astronauts aboard the Atlantis once presented clues while docked at the International Space Station.
Here are some Jeopardy! facts, just in case someone asks:
