La moglie dell'astronauta
Res publica 14.01.11
Le implicazioni politiche della relazione tra Gabrielle Giffords e suo marito Mark Kelly, astronauta NASA e - sino all'attentato a sua moglie - capitano della prossima missione dello Space Shuttle in programma ad aprile.
NASA's selection Thursday of a backup commander for astronaut Mark Kelly served as a reminder that the shooting in Tucson affected another community nearly as much as Capitol Hill - the one affiliated with America's manned space programs.
