Every now and then, and for obvious reasons, some footage of a man in a gorilla suit chasing fellow astronauts around the International Space Station (ISS) goes viral.

In the latest retelling of events, Spence Todd on Twitter wrote that "astronaut Mark Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit on board the International Space Station.

The prank was the idea of Scott's brother Mark, who in 2015 rang Scott and told him he was sending a gorilla suit, as there had never been a gorilla in space before.
