In light of the good and quick recovery of his wife, Mark Kelly, commander of STS-134 Discovery has announced that return immediately to the training phase, joining their peers and therefore positioned to fly into space. Kelly left to train on January 8 to take care of his wife, after the attack that it suffered in Tucson. And though the astronaut was prepared for a long absence of several months, which would have precluded their participation in the trip to the international space station, the medical course of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has been miraculously fast. Kelly's wife soon will face a lengthy rehabilitation period that will keep her occupied, so that her husband, with the agreement of the whole family, will continue his duties as an astronaut. STS-134 mission will send the spectrometer AMS to the station, work for which his crew take to train about 18 months. (
