India has taken its cosmic leap. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, an Indian Air Force pilot, is onboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket that shot off to space from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This is the same launchpad from which Neil Armstrong took off for the moon on Apollo 11 in 1969. Group Captain Shukla is the second Indian astronaut travelling to space, four decades after Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma made the cosmic journey as part of a Soviet mission in 1984. The Indian Air Force pilot has been in quarantine for over a month to ensure he stays healthy. Besides Group Captain Shukla, the pilot for the mission, specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary, and commander Peggy Whitson of the US are aboard the spacecraft.
