In its “Americans of the Year” Edition, Esquire has given Mark Kelly the cover. Kelly is the husband of Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was shot earlier this year at a public appearance, along with others. He has been noble at her side. And, she has made an against-all-odds recovery, even so far as a return to Congress. Kelly also happens to be an astronaut, which is pretty much the coolest thing you can ever be.
I covered the Giffords shooting and the privatization of space exploration earlier this year, here and here, respectively.
On this cloudy day in South Carolina, I thought I’d pull them back out to share. See below.
Performed by ipoet. Music for A Safe Way produced by pumpkinFoot. Music for Private Rocket produced by Sundance.
