The bizarre story of how a gorilla suit was sent to the International Space Station has reemerged this week. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
However, that description isnt actually right at all. Heres what actually happened<\/p>\n
The story starts with American astronaut Scott Kelly, who commanded the International Space Station Expeditions 26, 45, and 46.<\/p>\n
It was on ISS mission 46, which started on December 11th 2015, that the gorilla suit incident took place. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
As a retired astronaut himself, he clearly knew how lonely it could be in space so decided to do something a little humorous.<\/p>\n
Video clips from NASA show the astronaut wearing the costume and having a bit of fun with his crew mate Tim Peake. <\/p>\n
At the start of the famous video, you see Tim Peake unzipping a white bag. <\/p>\n
Tim then disappears and all of a sudden, Scott jumps out of the bag dressed as an incredibly realistic-looking gorilla. <\/p>\n
As there is no gravity, he flies around the space station in the gorilla suit and comedically chases Tim Peake around the cabin.<\/p>\n
