When older sister Holly was 9, she was adopted by a nurturing American couple with 9 other children, but she would often have nightmares and wake up in tears, saying “my daddy died, I have a sister, we need to find her.”
Holly’s mother contacted the orphanage, but found no records of a biological sister anywhere. Decades later, Holly’s husband contacted the orphanage again, and the results were the same. “But in my heart, I knew. I knew she was out there somewhere.”

Astronaut Scott Kelly is currently spending a year in space. Most expeditions to the space station last four to six months. By doubling the length of this mission, researchers hope to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight.

While Kelly is in space, his identical twin brother, retired NASA Astronaut Mark Kelly, will participate in a number of comparative genetic studies.
