NASA To Test Twin Brothers While One Is In Space

NASA will be embarking on a unique mission this spring. Astronaut Scott Kelly will spend a year on board the International Space Station. At the same time, his twin brother Mark, a retired astronaut, will be on Earth.

Both will undergo testing during that time. Mark Kelly, who’s married to former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, said this came about after his brother was selected for the one-year mission.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
