Is it true that part of this year-long mission for Scott Kelly has been to provide data for future Mars missions? If so, what kind of beneficial data are you hoping to get from his stay in Space, and what is its significance to future Mars missions? Also, thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for, and to promote, mankind's exploration of horizons beyond our own!

If he doesn't, I'll do it myself and mail it to him.

Currently trying to figure which address to send it to. Stalker status.

I was thinking of sending it to the TX NASA office, where he used to work before the trip. Afraid it'll just get returned to sender though.

Would you say we've got a long way to go in regards to understanding humans adapting to prolonged missions, before making a trip to Mars? If so, what more are we looking for specifically, that we don't already know (such as strong loss of sight, and likewise)?
