Identical twin brother of Scott Kelly, who recently spent nearly a year on the ISS.

Please correct spelling in your title. Thanks.

He'd be a great US Senator. Astronauts are very, very intelligent people.

Here, Mark and Scott (L-R):

had the pleasure of hearing him speak at BGSU, then meeting him afterward. We were at the end of the line, after he signed about 200 books, while he was worried about his wife across the country and sick, and the man still chatted with us for ten minutes. Any person who takes the time to engage my stepdaughter like that with those burdens on his plate has my endorsement, since I can't give him my vote. Thank you, Mr. Kelly.
