It’s been nearly 40 long years since the first (and last) Indian citizen flew into space. In April 1984, Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma flew onboard Soyuz T-11 with two Soviet cosmonauts to the Salyut-7 orbital station as part of the Soviet Interkosmos programme.

Twenty-seven years on, we still don’t have any Indian women flying or even training to fly to space.
