Indian Students Thrilled to Talk to Sunita Williams

Sunita, who was attired in a sky-blue half-sleeves shirt and grey shorts, smiled before answering the first question asked by a student from Patiala.

Abhishek Aggarwal, the Patiala student, had a query on future settlements in space and the growing terror threat on earth. Sunita, who is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, in her answer said: "Thanks, it's an important point. Space has no borders. Here every one works together. I wish I could share this with you."

The enthusiastic students, most of whom were part of the Asian regional Space Settlement Design Competition, asked questions ranging from what she did with the samosas she had taken along with her, what it feels like to be in space and can she speak in Hindi?

But many questions went unanswered as Sunita went off line 10 minutes after she began her chat. She received applause for her statement, "India is a colourful country."

Students asked Rakesh Sharma, who went up in space in 1984, how it felt to view another group of astronauts in space.

To a question on what his most valuable memory was during his space mission, Sharma said: "My first view of India from space was most amazing."

The former astronaut also said he would be the happiest person to see a manned mission to moon by Indian scientists in the near future.

"India is capable of doing it and I would be the happiest person."
