of the space station right now there was a chance of these two men we're going to
be the twins first blood relatives in space together
mark kelly and speculate great guys spent some time with them down at that
nasa last year man and uh... he's been married to the congresswoman for
premiering berry difficult time at this point

arizona at the time to carly s in washington thank you and again but we
