BLast Friday,Scott Kelly looked back on the planet Earth and said, “See you next year!”The NASA astronaut was headed to the International Station(ISS).where he plans to spend 342 days.twice as long as any American has ever spent in space at one time.While Scott is floating in space,scientists back on Earth will be studying Scott’s identical twin brother,retired astronaut Mark Kelly.The Kelly brothers have the same genes.NASA researchers want to see how their two bodies compare after living in such different environments.Floating weightless in space for a long period of time is hard on

health,sleep patterns,and physical fitness so they can learn more about these issues.As identical twins,any changes scientists see in Scott but not in Mark are likely caused by Scott’s being i n space.Te information NASA collects could be helpful for more than just futurespace travel.It could also aid people right here on Earth.Scientists may learn new methods to help patients recover from long periods of bed rest.The studied could also provide new ways to monitor people who are unable to fight infections.Scott Kelly has already made several trips to the ISS,which orbits 250 miles above Earth.But in the past,he has spent only a few months there at a time.Luckily,he won’t be alone during hhis current long-term mission.He will spend the year with Russian cosmonaut MilhailKornienko.Other ISS crew members will also visit the station for shorter periods of time.Scott Kelly says that although he’s worried about missing his family during his yea r away from Earth,he’s excited to be back aboard the ISS. “It is a lot of fun,”he says.1.The underlined word “identical”in the passage probably means “_______”A.DifferentB.The sameC.Very
