After A Year In Space, Scott Kelly’s Body Is Going Through Something Gruesome
Mental Hell
Knowing that there was no relief in sight was a mental hell for both Kelly and his love Amiko, “I can hear Amiko rummaging in the medicine cabinet. She returns with two ibuprofen and a glass of water. As she settles down, I can tell from her every movement, every breath, that she is worried about me. We both knew the risks of the mission I signed on for. After six years together, I can understand her perfectly, even in the wordless dark.”
Kelly wasn’t alone in his mission to test the effects of space on the human body, either.
