Still Waters Posted March 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2015 US astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko are about to undertake a 12-month tour of duty on the International Space Station. It will be the longest continuous stay anyone has had aboard the 400km-high orbiting platform. Kelly and Kornienko will launch from Baikonur in Kazakhstan in a Soyuz vehicle at 01:42 local time, Saturday (19:42 GMT Friday). http://www.bbc.co.uk...onment-32089169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalmoxis Posted March 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2015 That is great. A whole year in orbit sounds like a lot of time to float around in a tin can. Thanks for the link to the article. I didn't know that space exposure damages our eyes. Perhaps that's why those grey's eyes are so much different than our own. Genetic adaptation to traveling through zero gravity space. I wonder though, are those lenses on those aliens eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
