About

In all of human history, only a select few have ever left our planet’s atmosphere–but with the rise of commercial spaceflight, that’s about to change.

Sirisha Bandla, an aeronautical engineer and the fourth person of Indian descent to travel to space, shares why space should be for everyone.
