  7:44

  PM: Gabby, what did make you want to marry Mark?

  7:48

  GG: Um, good friends. Best friends. Best friends.

  7:54

  MK: I thought we always had a very special relationship. We've gone through some tough times and it's only made it stronger. GG: Stronger.

  8:06

  PM: After you got married, however, you continued very independent lives. Actually, you didn't even live together.

  8:14

  MK: We had one of those commuter marriages. In our case, it was Washington, D.C., Houston, Tucson.Sometimes we'd go clockwise, sometimes counterclockwise, to all those different places, and we didn't really live together until that Saturday morning. Within an hour of Gabby being shot, I was on an airplane to Tucson, and that was the moment where that had changed things.

  8:39

  PM: And also, Gabby, you had run for Congress after being a state senator and served in Congress for six years. What did you like best about being in Congress?

  8:51

  GG: Fast pace. Fast pace.

  8:55

  PM: Well it was the way you did it. GG: Yes, yes. Fast pace.

  8:57

  PM: I'm not sure people would describe it entirely that way. (Laughter)

  9:02

  MK: Yeah, you know, legislation is often at a colossally slow pace, but my wife, and I have to admit, a lot of other members of Congress that I know, work incredibly hard. I mean, Gabby would run around like a crazy person, never take a day off, maybe a half a day off a month, and whenever she was awake she was working, and she really, really thrived on that, and still does today. GG: Yes. Yes.

   9:25

  PM: Installing solar panels on the top of her house, I have to say. So after the tragic incident, Mark, you decided to resign your position as an astronaut, even though you were supposed to take the next space mission. Everybody, including Gabby, talked you into going back, and you did end up taking.

  9:44

  MK: Kind of. The day after Gabby was injured, I called my boss, the chief astronaut, Dr. Peggy Whitson, and I said, "Peggy, I know I'm launching in space in three months from now. Gabby's in a coma. I'm in Tucson. You've got to find a replacement for me." So I didn't actually resign from being an astronaut,but I gave up my job and they found a replacement. Months later, maybe about two months later, I started about getting my job back, which is something, when you become this primary caregiver person, which some people in the audience here have certainly been in that position, it's a challenging role but at some point you've got to figure out when you're going to get your life back, and at the time, I couldn't ask Gabby if she wanted me to go fly in the space shuttle again. But I knew she was— GG: Yes. Yes. Yes.
