Good for him!
I can speak from experience that his real work with his wife will start once she leaves the rehab center. Now, while she is well cared for, is the best time for him to accomplish what he can.
Are they really married or just shacked up?
I note they have different last names.
May be the last chance for an American to go into space in our own ship for a long time.
Why it was only yesterday that he was telling us he has begun to believe in fate, er faith.
The man is a tool.
Excellent news. It’s probably his last chance.
Leave the guy alone. Let him have and enjoy his career!!! Actually, he is really not too bright on “common sense” stuff!!! Any husband that would allow POTUS Obama to stage a “cheerleader rally” on his re-election behalf, when a dignified period of mourning was called for ain’t wrapped too tight!!! Just another braindead liberal floating along in LaLa land. Wish him well and his wife, too!!!
Why do I care about this guy -whats his name? Giffords’ Husband? That must be why...
I’m going to be the odd one out but personally I saw this coming right after the shooting. Yes, he left his job to go to his wife but what about their children? What happens to them if something happens to their father? Their Mother right now is recovering and who knows to what ability she will recover? IMHO, they strayed from their original spouses (him) and children to be together. Selfish is not with one event but a lifetime of events. IMHO. I feel sorry for the children.
Good for him! I hope his lovely wife is recuperating well.
He must be a selfish low life. If that shuttle blows up,, that brain damaged woman would be left alone. It isn’t about whether or not she is in medical extremis for the week or two he would be gone. It’s about what happens to his wife if he does a Challenger or Columbia.
No respect for this guy on my part. And as far as him being so critical to his crew,, Apollo 13 did pretty good with a crew substitution.
He’s a tool.
good for him! God gave him the talent and the skill and the hope to persist. God bless him and bless his wife with a speedy recovery.
Looking at 1st 30 or so responses, in general this is a ‘rough crowd’.
I thought he would be declared ‘unable to perform’ once he supposedly ‘dissed’ the WH and wouldn’t sit at BO’s SOU Pep Rally.
His ‘reason/excuse’ was he didn’t want to leave her side - which is commendable - but I kind of figured he shot the remainder of his career down with that decision, at least in the minds of the petty bunch running things.
NOT!
Like an astronaut would give up his chance at a "mission" for anything. Like he wouldn't walk over graves to ride and "make history" with his pathetic time in pathetic LEO. This was the silliest PR stunt, and highly offensive to all the public who have been praying for G. Giffords.
This guy promoted this "will he, won't he?" BS just to get more attention from the crowds about his ride. This is the truth, and anyone who's been a part of NASA culture KNOWS it.
My opinion of ersatz "space explorers" just hit an all time LOW.
People pay $40M to ride to the space station. Like there's any pilot that'd give it up for anything.
