Kelly, a retired NASA astronaut, was speaking two years ago during at an event the Boy Scouts of America, Northern New Jersey Council when he was asked a question about the possibility of Mars ever being colonized.
Kelly responded by remarking that his brother Scott, also an astronaut, had spent a year on the international space station and that his DNA had been altered either by radiation or the time spent in zero-gravity.
“I think the word hasn’t gotten out how bad it is for him,” Kelly said. “You know, it’s gotten so bad, that we recently had to release him back into the wild.”
Kelly pressed on.
“He’s like halfway between an orangutan and a Howler Monkey," he said. "We’ve even changed his name to Rodrigo. He lives in the woods. He lives in Eagle Rock Reservation.”
Eagle Rock is a forest reserve and park in New Jersey.
