American Astronaut Scott Kelly seems to be making the most of his last days in space having fun. In a new video released, Kelly looks nothing like an Astronaut. Scott Kelly was playing a prank on his colleague Mikhail Kornienko by wearing a gorilla costume. He was in disguise. Astronaut Scott Kelly’s one year in space hasn’t been as secluded as one would imagine.
On Thursday, American Astronaut Scott Kelly held his last press conference from the International Space Station. Mikhail did not expect Kelly plays pranks. He’s been tweeting and Reddit-ing like any other Earthling on Earth and not to forget, playing pranks on his ISS colleagues.
In the video, Mikhail opens a large box and Kelly jumps out in a gorilla costume.
Folks, I’m pretty sure that’s an #ApeInSpace aboard the @Space_Station. pic.twitter.com/0ht6ilXhxK

Needed a little humor to lighten up a #YearInSpace. Go big, or go home. I think I’ll do both. #SpaceApehttps://t.co/Ift8VdDR4C

He then chases the crewmembers as they float around the International Space Station. Scott Kelly posted the video on his Facebook page. He wrote, “Needed a little humor to lighten up a #YearinSpace. Go big, or go home. I think I’ll do both! #SpaceApe.”
