Astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly to Speak in NWA

Retired NASA astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly will speak at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, in Bud Walton Arena as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series.

The Kellys are identical twin brothers who both achieved the rank of captain in the U.S. Navy before joining NASA as space shuttle pilots. They are the only siblings to have traveled to space.

The lecture, “To Infinity and Beyond! Extraordinary Life Lessons from the Kelly Brothers,” will highlight the unique achievements accomplished by the brothers. The event is free and open to the public.
