NASA astronaut twin brothers may meet in space aboard the International Space Station next year leading Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly to be active 'tweating' the possiblity. Mark is the commander of space shuttle mission STS-134, set to launch in late 2010. Scott is the commander of station Expedition 26, also set to fly in late 2010.
Read their respective Twitter postings: Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly. One is training in Houston and the other is training in Moscow. It would be the first time twin brothers have been in space together should the planned launch schedules permit. Both men are US Navy Captians and both selected for the NASA Astronaut Corps in 1996.
