[quote]US astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko are set to return to Earth after spending almost a year in space.
Their extended stay is part of an effort to study the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the body.
But scientists will gain further insights by comparing Scott Kelly with his Earthbound identical twin, Mark.
Scott Kelly and Kornienko will have spent 340 days on the space station by the time they return on 2 March.
The mission is a record for the International Space Station (ISS) and will give Cmdr Kelly a tally of 520 cumulative days in space, over four flights.[/quote]

Touchdown confirmed!
Time for invasive physicals!
Scott Kelly actually graduated from my university. I need to ask my editors if we can try to get in touch with him and get an interview for the school paper.

But hey, at least his brother has to get probed in every way he does, so that's something
