The Kellys--Astronauts and Brothers (Part 4)

Two American astronauts you may have heard about are Scott and Mark Kelly. They are identical twin brothers, and both became test pilots, being inducted to the same astronaut group in 1986. This past fall NASA filmed an interview with the brothers, and covered their lives from the brothers growing up, to their career choices, being an astronaut, and what advice the brothers would give to kids who aspire to be astronauts. While the entire interview ended up being about 40 minutes, NASA broke it down into about 5-minute segments. Right here is Part 4 of the interview, and I'll keep posting the interview parts a couple times a week until I've posted them all.

While both brothers have been on the crews of several shuttle flights, most recently Scott Kelly was the commander of Expedition 26 on the International Space Station. Mark Kelly is slated to be the commander of the upcoming (STS-134) space shuttle mission. You may have heard of Mark Kelly as he is the husband of Congresswomen Giffords. 

Anyway, I really enjoyed watching their interview. I hope you do too!
