"At the point when
the principal Americans set foot on Mars, they will be following in the strides
of one of the finest space travelers in the historical backdrop of the space
program, old buddy, Commander Scott Kelly. In the wake of spending an American
record 520 days in space – incorporating his Year in Space – I can think about
nobody all the more meriting some merited lay and time on the same planet as
his family and companions.
"Every one of us
in the NASA family - and without a doubt in the more extensive academic group -
are appreciative that he was willing to relinquish time with his friends and
family, suppers that don't arrive in a pack, a frosty lager, hot showers, cool
harvest time breezes, the hints of winged animals tweeting, the capacity to lay
his head on a genuine pad thus a great deal a greater amount of the joys of
life amid his year of exploration and experimentation the International Space
Station.
"We will always
remember the 700 staggering pictures he presented on online networking, the
administration he showed as ISS Commander throughout the previous six months
and, the greater part of all, the effect that every one of his missions and
years of administration will keep on having on our Journey to Mars." /nasa.gov orginal post reference/
