[i]Imagine carrying out hundreds of scientific and research experiments, every day, for a year... in space. For American astronaut Scott Kelly, that will soon be his reality. This March, this native of Houston, Texas will launch to the International Space Station and become the first American to live and work aboard the orbiting laboratory for a year-long mission. Not only will he be conducting studies on cutting-edge technology development, he and his crew will compare medical data from Scott and hist twin brother astronaut Mark Kelly to see how the human body responds over time in space. This research will help move our country forward toward President Obama's goal of sending humans to Mars by the 2030s. An astronaut since 1996, Scott has logged more than 180 days in space and has served as both pilot and commander on space shuttle missions, including a long-duration mission on the International Space Station. So he should feel right at home.[/i]
