Astronaut Scott Kelly (http://mashable.com/category/scott-kelly/) has spent a full year in space. So, he decided to break out the gorilla suit.

The suit, a care package courtesy of Scott's twin brother and retired NASA astronaut Mark (https://twitter.com/ShuttleCDRKelly), was likely a birthday present for Scott (https://twitter.com/ShuttleCDRKelly/status/701560668521107457). But, it may just as likely have been an early homecoming gift, as NASA said Scott will be returning back to Earth on March 1 (http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-astronaut-scott-kelly-talks-one-year-mission-in-final-in-space-news-conference).
The twins shared twin posts on Twitter of the monkeying around.
Upon his return, Scott Kelly will hold the United States record for most consecutive days in space - 520. He will also hold the world record for most days in space dressed up like a monkey - one. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/02/23/space-monkey-suit/)
