Another good sign for Gabrielle Giffords: She is expected to be in attendance when husband Mark Kelly blasts off aboard space shuttle Endeavour next month, reports ABC News. NASA says she'll be in the family viewing area of the Kennedy Space Center on April 19. Giffords continues to recuperate at a Texas rehab center, though no specifics were offered on her progress.
