This blog is for all those who wanted to reach for the stars. Kalpana Chawla also had the same desire. She was the first Indian-born American woman to be sent to space. Kalpana was born in India’s Karnal district of Haryana on March 17, 1962. From a very young age she dreamt of flying and reaching out to the stars.
Kalpana Chawla always excelled in whatever she did. She overcame every obstacle in her life and her hard-work led her to NASA. She made her first space expedition on November 19, 1997 on STS-87. She made her second voyage on January 16, 2003 in the Columbian space shuttle STS-107. Before leaving for the voyage, Chawla said that JRD Tata, who flew the first mail flights in India, prompted her to take up aeronautics as a career. Sadly, STS-107 blasted off during her re-entry to the earth’s surface on February 1, 2003, perishing the entire crew of six including Chawla. Kalpana Chawla who always dreamt of the stars, she herself became a star. Her life history is the greatest inspiration for the youths of today.
