Cosmonauts, astronauts, taikonauts, etc….but what to name for our own made in India? Indi-nauts! Let's hope the name comes to effect soon in the history of space and possibly the fourth country to make it independently.
Gone are the days when our first man was titled Cosmonaut for his space mission blasted off in Soyuz T-11 and was heavily dependent on the kind support from our Russian friend. Yeah, I'm talking about Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma who became the first Indian and 138th person into the manned space in 1984 and whose word became very popular for the question asked at the pride moment "How india looks from the space" and the answer was simple, short and famous "saare jahaan se aacha!"
So, our space developmental started with the first sounding rocket launch in 1963 with a rapid development in the field and has become now capable of delivering the satellites from the world to the accurate required position and involved independently to launch a moon probe in the coming months.
If chandrayan goes fine, it will give an immediate path to our own manned mission in the coming future. Let's guess who is the luckiest person to go to space in our indigenous experimental work. So, make preparation from your elders to kids to make something proud of india to get a chance of a manned space in your family.
