Angry Birds Friends – Year In Space Tournament!
Last year, American astronaut Scott Kelly blasted off with Russian cosmonaut, Mikhail Korniyenko, bound for the ISS. The plan was for the two to spend a year in space to study the effects that spaceflight can have on humans in the long term. If we want to send people to Mars by 2030, this is important stuff to know. You can learn more about the One-Year Mission right here.
