Why was there a gorilla suit on the International Space Station? – HITC – Football, Gaming, Movies, TV, Music

The bizarre story of how a gorilla suit was sent to the International Space Station has reemerged this week.

Its gone viral on Twitter after a screenwriter and filmmaker called Todd Spence shared a hilarious video of the incident this week which has been viewed over 3.8 million times.

Astronaut Mark Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit on board the International Space Station. He didnt tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on, he wrote.

However, that description isnt actually right at all. Heres what actually happened

The story starts with American astronaut Scott Kelly, who commanded the International Space Station Expeditions 26, 45, and 46.

It was on ISS mission 46, which started on December 11th 2015, that the gorilla suit incident took place.

Near the end of the year-long expedition, Scotts twin brother Mark Kelly sent a care package up to the International Space Station in 2016which contained the gorilla suit.

As a retired astronaut himself, he clearly knew how lonely it could be in space so decided to do something a little humorous.

Video clips from NASA show the astronaut wearing the costume and having a bit of fun with his crew mate Tim Peake.

At the start of the famous video, you see Tim Peake unzipping a white bag.

Tim then disappears and all of a sudden, Scott jumps out of the bag dressed as an incredibly realistic-looking gorilla.

As there is no gravity, he flies around the space station in the gorilla suit and comedically chases Tim Peake around the cabin.

In February 2016, whilst aboard the ISS, Scott Kelly tweeted the hilarious video.

Needed a little humor to lighten up a #YearInSpace. Go big, or go home. I think Ill do both. #SpaceApe, he wrote.

To this day, it remains one of the funniest and most famous videos of all time, but it continues to confuse those who dont know the story.
