A great book for those interested in outer space and being an astronaut

If anyone here is fascinated by space travel and reading about what it takes to be an astronaut, I highly recommend "Endurance" by Scott Kelly. He is the twin brother of Mark Kelly, who is married to Gabby Giffords. Both Kelly brothers are astronauts.

1. He's the guy who recently spent nearly a year at the ISS,

While his identical twin brother remained on Earth.

In pics of the two after Scott returned, he is noticeably taller than Mark, due to lack of gravity on the ISS his spine expanded by inches.

That kind of thing is why NASA did this year long mission. They have a ready made twin study, albeit with power of one.
