Send well wishes to NASA astronaut Scott Kelly

During his year in space, Kelly is participating in a twin study with his former astronaut identical twin brother, Mark Kelly, who is still on Earth.

To get the radiation experience that Kelly will receive during his one year in space, you will have to travel 5250 times from New York to Los Angeles.

The Galveston County Daily News (http://bit.ly/1OfHP47 ) reports the scene elicited a chuckle from Kirk Shireman, the program director of NASA’s global Space Station program. It doesn’t technically specify that the experiments will be on Scott Kelly’s body, but we would assume so, since that’s what the infographic is about.

At NASA’s Johnson Space Center on Tuesday, the space agency tried to link the science and strategy portrayed in the movie, which is set in the near future, with the real life projects being worked on in Houston.

Huffington wrote, “According to the graphic, he’ll [Kelly] be making plenty of material for shooting stars”.

NASA has also cited that Kelly, while in space for 365 days, is going to produce 730 liters of recycled urine and sweat.

He’s been up in space for nearly half a year and has six months to go before he returns home. According to NASA, Kelly will be drinking the recycled urine and sweat.

Aside from poop and urine, NASA’s infographic also shared some interesting facts about Kelly’s “Year in Space”.

Upon touching the Earth’s soil, cosmonaut Gennady Padalka had surpassed another Russian for the longest amount of time a human has spent in space. For a year, astronaut Scott Kelly will see 10,944 sunrises and sunsets. That’s two hours a day on average.

Kelly will be conducting around 383 experiments during his one year in space. Kelly will run around 684 miles on a specialized treadmill.
