Sunita Williams - Walk the Sapce

You might have read so many articles are new items about Sunita Williams who is the First Indian Women to visit Space. Thats really a great, she made history for Indians. I just wanted to write some specific ideas that I mind.

If you are a regular visitor to my blog, you can see that I've posted an small article regarding the first women space walker 'Anousheh Ansari'. Just after three months, now 'Sunita' got this chance to walk in space. The only news to indians is that she is the first Indo-American women to visit space, but she is second women visitor to the space!! The difference is that 'Anousheh' is not an astronaut, where as 'Sunita' is a full-fledged 'Astronaut'. So, I can also say that she is not a visitor like 'Anousheh', and it may be wrong to say that she is the second visitor to visit space as I stated above.


[I wonder, some people don't know about ISS!! If you are one of them I can't help you, and you won't understand what I talk here.(I'm not going to explain what ISS is!) but its all a different story]


Sunita Williams is the second woman of Indian origin after Kalpana Chawla to blast off on a space mission and spend six months at the International Space Station where US shuttle Discovery will leave her on completion of a 12-day repair job. The purpose of her expidition is to take a spacewalk with her Discovery colleague Robert Curbeam to help rewire the ISS space lab and also operate the space station's robotic arm, among other tasks. The above picture shows ISS Expedition 14 commander Michael Lopez-Alegria (left), and flight engineers Sunita Williams (center) and Mikhail Tyurin pose for a crew portrait.

There is one more important thing to notify here, as we know 'Sunita' is the first Indian women space walker, here is another man here, if you see in the above pic, he is none other than 'Mikhail Tyurin' ! He is the first man from 'Sweden' to go to ISS. This you can see this in the Video, also you can see all the crew members, don't miss!
