Washington. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, who created history by reaching the International Space Station (ISS), also told many surprising things during the conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi (PM Modi). He told that India looks very grand from space. The more bigger than India is shown in the map, it is seen in reality. Shukla said that this is not only his journey but a journey of 140 crore countrymen.

Shubhanshu Shukla said that he is traveling in space at a speed of 28 thousand kilometers per hour. However, due to being inside the space station, they do not know this pace. He told that when he looked out of the window, he was passing over the air. He said that we see sunset and sunrise 16 times daily from the orbit of Earth. Our country is moving at a very speed.
What is a big challenge on ISS

Group Captain Shukla said that he has taken training for about a year to live in this separate environment. Even after this, they are facing some different things. Like there is micro gravity there. Shukla said that gold is a big challenge here. One can sleep on the ground, can go to the roof but there is nothing like that here. He told PM Modi, at this time I am talking, my feet are tied. Otherwise I would get up upwards.
Limits are not visible from here

Shubhanshu Shukla told PM Modi that the earth looks very big from space but does not show boundaries on it. He said, India looks very grand and very big. Please tell that on Thursday, Shukla and the other two astronauts have reached the ISS. He has reached ISS after 28 hours of journey.

Talking to Shukla, who is orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 400 km, Modi said that your historic journey is not limited to space only, but it will give a new momentum to the efforts being made in the direction of developed India. Shukla said that his visit to the space station is not only a personal achievement, but it is the collective achievement of the entire nation.

Shubhanshu Shukla is the second Indian to go into space after Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma in 1984. Former Indian Air Force officer and first Indian astronaut wing commander Rakesh Sharma along with Soviet Intercosmos flew outside the Earth in Soyuz T-11 on 03 April 1984.
