Holiday in Space!

-
For the first time, from a trip organized by a private company SpaceX, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley have returned to Earth bringing their historic two-month mission at the International Space Station (ISS) to an end. 

Their mission began on 30 May 2020, when Behnken and Hurley both launched inside the SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule from Cape Canaveral, Florida and then docked with ISS a day later. Called Demon-2, the mission was meant to prove out Crew Dragon’s biggest capabilities -- by safely transporting people to space and getting them to the ISS. Now SpaceX has proved that the Crew Dragon capsule can safely bring people back home, too.


This is just a reminder to my grand-kids. Maybe, when they are ready on their own for their holidays, they might be able to book their journey in space, as well as lodging, through Airbnb. Who knows!


There is a 6-bed room place up there to stay whenever you want to make a trip to explore the grand voids of space and watch the stars and galaxies up close!

If you want to step out for an early morning spacewalk, you don't have to carry your tracksuit as spare ones are available! However, when you step out, don't forget to close the door to protect your room from space dust - what they call micro-meteorites. Also, computer workstations are available, so it would be OK if you just carry your cell phones.

Copyright: Internet Given India's current position as a politically vibrant nation with a coalition government, a rapidly growing economy, and an expanding global influence across multiple sectors, it has naturally attracted the envy of various nations who would prefer to see its progress stall or reverse.  The India-Pakistan Situation In this context, engaging in warfare with a poor and struggling neighboring country would be a self-destructive act, squandering the significant advantages the present BJP led Indian government has painstakingly built over the last decade. Pushing Pakistan deeper into poverty through a war could inadvertently lead to global sympathy for them. Other countries and international ...

Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair: A Life of Principle and Purpose

Surprisingly, it required someone like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sitting 2,500 km away in Delhi, to illuminate the significant contributions of Kerala's illustrious son, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair (1857-1934), for Keralites and Indian historians. Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair This luminary had risen to prominent judicial roles in the British administration, received a knighthood  under British rule, yet ultimately relinquished all these accolades to fight against injustice within the same British legal framework , a system that ironically helped pave the path to India's eventual independence . Following PM Modi's directive, Union Minister Suresh Gopi visited the ancestral home of freedom fighter and former Congress president's family in Ottapalam and their residence in Chandranagar, Palakkad, on Sunday.
