     Kalpana Chawla (March 17, 1962 – February 1, 2003) was an Indo-American astronaut and the first woman of Indian origin in space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator.

*THE QUOTES OF KALPANA CHAWLA*

       1.I was interested in aerospace and flying, and the U.S. is really the best place in the world for flying.

    2.In summers, while growing up in India, we often slept in the courtyard under the stars.

         3.It's like running a marathon race. We train all hours of the day. When you are taking a bath, you are thinking of the flight.

         4.I've always been very determined. I don't get easily discouraged.

         5.When you lift off, the pressure is supposed to be maximum. But actually, it was very benign. Very enjoyable. But as soon as the engines cut off and you get to zero gravity, you felt as if you were being pushed off your seat. You feel disoriented. You don't feel aligned with anything. I felt for a few good hours that I was falling.

         6.The first view of the Earth is magical. It is a very overpowering realization that the Earth is so small. It affected me. I could not get over the notion that in such a small planet, with such a small ribbon of life, so much goes on. It is as if the whole place is sacred.
