Astronaut's gorilla suit prank goes bananas on internet

INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION — There's a little monkey business going on inside the International Space Station.

It's been a long time since anyone sent primate into orbit.  This is actually just astronaut Scott Kelly breaking out of a box to surprise and chase British astronaut Timothy Peake.

The monkey suit is a gift from Kelly's twin brother and fellow astronaut Mark Kelly who sent it to his brother in a care package.

Scott Kelly has been in space since March of last year and will return to Earth next month. In a Tweet calling himself the "#SpaceApe," Kelly wrote: "Go big, or go home. I think I'll do both."
