BBC Radio 4 - e=mc2, Ian Sansom - The Twin Paradox

Kevin Ehrlich awaits lift-off as his famous twin brother sets off on a mission to Mars.

4 Extra Debut. As the first manned Mars mission looms, a commander’s brother anticipates some brotherly one-upmanship. Read by Trevor White.

It's the day of the first manned mission to Mars. 

As Commander Carl Ehrlich's twin brother Kevin awaits the final countdown in a local bar it seems the mission just might offer him the perfect means of gaining some long-awaited one-upmanship on his internationally-renowned, hugely successful, ever-so-slightly older brother!

Taking inspiration from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, Ian Sansom discovers it's all relative in his story of sibling rivalry and space travel.
