An Unexpected Gorilla Chases an Astronaut Around the International Space Station

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly who keeps everyone entertained and up to date on space news through his Twitter feed, decided to add a bit more levity to the environment with a silly prank. Kelly dressed up as a gorilla to surprise his (un)suspecting colleagues, whom he hilariously chased around the International Space Station. In his own words, “Go big, or go home. I think I’ll do both” and he certainly did. But the question remains, where does one find a gorilla costume in outer space?
