Twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly were separated for almost a year, undergoing intensive measurements when one was in space and one was on Earth. But that was only the beginning of their scientific odyssey.
"Beyond A Year in Space," PBS and Time's follow-up documentary to last year's — which followed Scott Kelly from launch to landing — chronicles Kelly's return to life on Earth and the extensive medical testing the duo undergo to determine exactly what changes have occurred as a result of his record-breaking stay on the International Space Station. The documentary also follows two new astronauts, Jessica Meir and Victor Glover, training to go even further.
"Beyond A Year in Space" will premiere Wednesday, Nov. 15 from 9 to 10 p.m. EST on PBS, following an encore presentation from 8 to 9 p.m. of its precursor "A Year in Space." The latter originally aired in 12 parts online over the course of Kelly's mission. [Astronaut Scott Kelly's 12 Best Photos from His Year in Space]
"Two men with identical genomes, identical careers," Jeff Kluger, science editor for Time, said in an exclusive clip from the documentary provided to Space.com. "You send one man to space for one year … you track the other man living an earthly life for that same one year, subtract the differences — that's what space did."
