Houston, We Have a Family Reunion 75
crimeandpunishment writes "If all goes according to plan, the only space sibling team will be hooking up in orbit. And not only are Scott and Mark Kelly brothers, they're identical twins. Scott took off Friday on a Russian Soyuz rocket to begin a five and a half month mission as the next commander of the International Space Station. Mark is the next commander of the space shuttle Endeavour, scheduled to lift off in February and hook up with the space station March 1st."

NASA better be careful! They may have swapped classes in Astronaut school, and now only one of them knows, say, how to land the Shuttle, while the other one knows, say, how to work the zero-gee toilet!

But they were married. When married people do it, it's not interesting.
