Scott Kelly is going to be up in space for more than a year starting in March of this year (2015) and will be up there until March of the year 2016. There will be many tolls upon him because the no gravity can mess up his bone structure and it could make him very weak. He said that he is willing to do anything to stay up there. He is going to be up there with another person and they are going to make more experiments than anyone else has up in space. Usually, people go up for 6 months and they can do up to 400 experiments. He is planning to do at least 800. He is going to be able to work out with special shoes that hold him to the ground, sleep in a bed with ropes tying him down so he won’t float, and he is going to be able to live up there like a normal person including social media and television. They say this will help to see if they can send people out to Mars or long trips in space.
Would you be willing to go up to space for a year? Why?
Do you think people will be able to go out to space and explore other galaxies someday? Why?

Again, you didn't hyperlink to the story and you didn't reply to student comments which is worth 10 points per story.
I would be more than willing to live in space for a year or more. Space is the next frontier an I would be willing to donate my life to the cause! I think that this will be an amazing experience for him and I think that this will really help NASA and other space agencies learn about space.
That would be awesome to go up to space for a year because it would be a great experience and I bet a lot of people would love to do it. I think people will be able to explore more than just explore other galaxies with our technology upgrading all of the time.
Yeah I would be willing to go up to space for a year just to get experience and say I up in space for a year. Yes I do because if we are able to keep upgrading airplane speed. Someday we will be able to go faster than the speed of light.
I can tell you one thing this guy is going to be making an insane amount of money going up there for a whole year. If this opportunity was giving to me there is no way i would turn it down I mean there's no one else that can say they were up in space for an entire year. I personally think long time space travel is possible but we do have along ways to advance in technology before that is possible.
