One of the important event in my childhood that shaped my thoughts was launch of India's first
satellite launch vehicle(SLV-3) in 1980. This was when I was studying in 6
th. It was one of the proud moments, we as a family watched glued to the television. It sparked that scientific temper, and curiosity in astro physics . Yet another event that really made me look deeper into astronomy was the first Indian
astronaut Wg Cdr Rakesh Sharma's advent into outer space on Soyuz T-11 in 1984. This month marks the silver
jubilee of this milestone. I wait for that day to come when my children feel the same scientific
enthusiasm for India's
launch of its space vehicle and
astronauts into space through its indigenous technology. Rather than claim it to be a race to space, it is such events that shape young mind towards science, technology and innovation.
