Both the U.S. and Russia are getting ready to send one person each into space for an entire year.

FOX News Radio’s Eben Brown reports:

NASA�astronaut Scott Kelly is in the final stages of getting ready to spend a year aboard the International Space Station.

(Kelly) “Oh I’m feeling great. I think my fellow crew members are feeling great as well, and we’re excited to be here, finishing up our U.S.�training.”

Kelly soon departs for Russia, where in March he and cosmonaut Mikhail Korniyenko will blast off for their year in orbit. Kelly says he’s got everything together. No need for a last meal.

(Kelly)�”So, for me, most of it’s surrounding logistics, like preparing my house and my family, and things like that, for me to be gone for over a year.”
