Two Picked For Year-Long Stay On ISS on This Week @ NASA
Astronaut Scott Kelly has been selected by NASA to begin a one-year mission aboard the International Space Station in 2015. Joining Kelly on the ISS will be Russian cosmonaut, Mikhail Kornienko. The pair will launch aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in spring 2015. Their 12-month stay aboard the world’s only laboratory in microgravity will provide new data about how the human body reacts and adapts to the harsh environment of space. That information will help scientists assess crew performance and health, and develop better ways to reduce the risks of long-duration spaceflight. Also, Training Continues for Next Expedition Crew, NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft confirms water ice on Mercury, NASA Administrator visits Rocket Maker, J-2X tests continue, Curiosity Rover Report and more!
She took dozens. Apparently Curiosity is a teenage girl.
They really need to get Cave Johnson to narrate these!
and now according to the press release he is going to be the captain of the ISS when they go 12 month
good to see The Crawler is working again after it had a heart transplant on new engines
This is a sign. A sign that we are finally gonna start sending some humans to planets. They won't say that. Cause their scientist. But its obvious.
– Yes; I definitely agree – the time has come to start and prepare for a deeper and more serious research of how the Human Body will handle & react to micro gravity and heavier cosmic particle radiation exposure for longer planetory distance journeys ahead. It is definitely The SIGN! And it is not a single day too late, to at last begin this essential research!!

@Thebenjamisson oh no, we know how the human body would react. Its basic chemistry and physics. But some how dark matter has no problem sustaining form. So what I'm saying is we need to figure out how to use dark matter to protect us the same way its protecting that ice from the sun. Which raises the question, what the hell is dark matter. We've been knew space consist of more of it then us (matter), just like newton knew gravity was there, once einstein got a hold of it we advanced civilization
Now its time to shift focus to dark matter. 1st step find it. 2nd touch it. 3rd test it. 4th manipulate. We 3 test down from having man made dark matter devices
kerbal space program all day
Well, that doesn't count as vanity if the pictures aren't taken in a bathroom 🙂
very interesting and informative program
Interesting ))
