If they check his genes again in a year, they’ll be like, “Oh, never mind.”

Apparently Mark and Scott still share the “Media Whore” gene...Space exposure must not effect that part of DNA...

The truth about astronaut Scott Kelly’s viral ‘space genes’Not very long ago, the "viral" here would've been interpreted differently.

Yes, his genome did not change, that is true. But we have plenty of idle genes that often are never “turned on” - activated to express their particular coding for blocking or producing some substance - or always turned on and never “turned off” - just sit reside there in the DNA in the nucleus but performing no role at all in our lifetime.
What changed was that condition, for quite a number of genes, of either suddenly being turned on or turned off during his space journey is what happened.
Genes alone are only part of who we are. Epigenetic forces and conditions have always played a role in what of our genome is “active” and what is idle.
