Gorilla attack on the International Space Station (is Scott Kelly having fun yet?) [Video]

There was fun afoot on the International Space Station recently when Scott Kelly dressed up like a gorilla and chased a fellow astronaut around.

Commander Scott Kelly is close to the end of his year in space mission on the International Space Station and he has obviously decided to have some fun before he heads home. He got his twin brother, Mark Kelly, to send up a gorilla suit in a care package. 

In the video posted by his brother Mark on Twitter, we can see Scott emerging from a white box in the middle of the ISS and, accompanied by lively music, chases British astronaut Tim Peake around on the space station in zero gravity conditions. Mark's Twitter version had the Benny Hills theme, but it won't play on all browsers.
Watch the fun below.

Scott is scheduled to return home to Earth in March after spending one year in space. NASA is hoping his mission will allow them to measure the effects of long-term space travel on astronauts.

Besides the gorilla stunt, Scott has done some pretty important work up on the ISS including entertaining videos, incredible images of Earth from the ISS as well as the first zinnia flowers to bloom in space, paving the way to successfully farm food off planet.

He also played water ping pong for our entertainment, watched the Super Bowl both on TV and from a huge distance through the ISS window, and he and his fellow astronauts paid a touching tribute to David Bowie from up in the stars.
