Very soon someone from our own rocket will travel to space: Shukla
Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian to go to International Space Station, said he hoped that someday someone would travel to space "from our own capsule, from our rocket, from our soil". "India looks saare jahaan se achcha (better than everyone else) even today," he added. These words were first used by Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma in 1984.
