바카라If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.바카라 - Carl Segan
In pursuit of knowledge, space - quite literally beyond reach for most - has long captured the human imagination.
It remains a place we look up to, not just in a physical sense, but as a symbol of mystery, ambition and the endless frontier of human potential.
Since the mid-20th century, rockets have carried humans, scientific instruments and even animals into orbit and beyond.
A flight will be launched on June 10 - using the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on a Falcon 9 rocket - from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
바카라The Ax-4 mission will 바카라realize the return바카라 to human spaceflight for India, Poland, and Hungary, with each nation바카라s first government-sponsored flight in more than 40 years,바카라 Axiom Mission's website stated.
The flight will be piloted by Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla.
As Shukla soars towards the International Space Station - his journey will mark a historic milestone for India - making him the first Indian to travel to the ISS and only the second Indian ever to venture into space.
It has been 41 years since an Indian journeyed out of Earth.
This trip to the ISS, which is a commercial flight handled by Houston-based private company Axiom Space, is a collaborative effort between NASA, Indian Space Research Organisation and European Space Agency.
ISRO has paid 5 billion rupees to book a seat for Group Captain Shukla in the mission, as per BBC.
"The benefit we will get from this mission is phenomenal in terms of the training, exposure to the facilities and the experience of jointly conducting experiments in space," ISRO Chairman V Narayanan mentioned.
The mission comes amid India's ambitious plans to establish its own space station - the Bharatiya Antriksh Station - by 2035, and send an astronaut to the Moon by 2040.
The country is rapidly expanding its space presence, with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announcing a âč10 billion venture capital fund last year to boost the sector and open it up to private players.
As India gears up to expand its presence in space, only two Indian nationals and three people of Indian origin have made the journey beyond Earth so far.

This is what Rakesh Sharma said on how India looks from space. Wing Commander Sharma flew on the Soviet Soyuz T-11 spacecraft in 1984 as part of the joint ISRO and Soviet Interkosmos program.
Kalpana Chawla - an Indian American - was one of the seven astronauts who met a tragic end during Columbia disaster - a breakup of the United States space shuttle orbiter on February 1, 2003, that killed all on board.
NASA suspended space shuttle flights for over two years as it investigated the Columbia disaster - which revealed that a large piece of foam insulation had broken off from the shuttle바카라s external tank during launch and struck the spacecraft바카라s wing, causing a fatal breach.
Sunita Williams, born to a Gujrati father, recently made headlines again. She has been to space three times, logging a cumulative 608 days, one of the highest totals ever recorded by any astronaut.
During her first time aboard the space station, she completed four spacewalks, spending over 29 hours outside the spacecraft, and logged more than 195 days in space - both of which were records for women at the time.
Sirisha Bandla - a Telugu American aeronautical engineer - was part of the first-ever fully crewed commercial spaceflight on July 11, 2021.
The latest will be Group Captain Shukla - a distinguished pilot in the Indian Air Force.
The 39-year-old has 2,000 hours of flight experience across various aircraft, and is one of the four astronauts for ISRO바카라S historic Gaganyaan mission - India바카라s inaugural human space flight endeavor.
The crew will be docked to the ISS for up to 14 days.
Beyond such logistics and racial and gender representation in space - lies the almost unfathomable reality of humans venturing into outer space at all.
In 바카라Humanity바카라s Future Is In The Stars, Tracing The Steps To Humans Being A Spacefaring Race바카라, Madhur Sharma writes about evolution, migration, agriculture, aliens, spacefaring and space mining.
바카라By the 20th century, space was the final frontier left unexplored. In 1897, HG Wells had completed the novel The War of the Worlds, mainstreaming the idea of beings from space. The phrase itself 바카라the final frontier바카라 was immortalised in the opening narration of Star Trek.바카라
Needless to say, venturing into space is a different ball game altogether - a realm defined by endless research and discovery.
In 바카라New Superbugs Found In NASA Cleanrooms Could Aid Space Travel And Biotech바카라, Archana Jyoti writes about the study led by researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in collaboration with NASA바카라s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and institutions across India and Saudi Arabia on organisms that can survive the kinds of extremes found in space.
While controversies persist - from conspiracy theories questioning the moon landing to geopolitical rivalries over who will first set foot on the Moon바카라s far side or reach the rings of Saturn - one truth endures: space, in all its silent vastness, remains a cosmic expanse of enigmatic humbling wonder.
