Viral video shows astronaut scaring off crew member in gorilla suit during space flight; watch

While living and working in space for a long time is quite exhausting and can often become very monotonous, astronauts also make efforts to keep themselves entertained and amused during this time. With that said, one such video is now making rounds on the internet where a NASA astronaut took things to an extremely interesting level after he wore a gorilla suit in space to scare off his fellow crew member. The incident originally took place in 2016 at the International Space Station (ISS), while a video of the same is yet again gaining traction on social media. The NASA astronaut identified as Scott Kelly decided to prank his fellow space mate Tim Peake by secretly bringing a gorilla suit into the space station. The video shared on Twitter by Historic Vids opens with Peake leaving a large white bag on the station. Shortly after he leaves the area, Kelly came out of the bag wearing the suit and rushes towards the other astronaut. In a matter of seconds, we can see them running frantically on the station. While a panicked Peake can be seen escaping from the ‘gorilla’, Kelly also kept chasing him. Watch:
