Shukla Shares Space Mission Experiences

Shukla Shares Space Mission Experiences

Shubhanshu Shukla, an Indian astronaut, shared his experiences from his space mission.

He said that seeing India from space was beautiful but adjusting to life in space and back on Earth was challenging.

He had to have two wisdom teeth removed before his trip because astronauts can't do dental surgery in space.

His mission had some problems, like an oxygen leak and delays, but he never doubted the mission.

He spent 20 days in space, working long hours on science experiments and talking to people.

He also mentioned that India is planning more space missions, including a space station.

Shukla said that being an astronaut is exciting but also hard work.

He prefers flying in a cockpit when he's not on a space mission.
