2) Baby’s first flight can be as momentous as the first birthday, the first photo op with Santa, the first steps—but not in the Hallmark kind of way. More like the cupcake-smashing-sugar-rage, screaming-at-Santa, faceplant-on-the-hardwood-floor kind of way. It’s a life moment that could leave you so obscenely frustrated you can do nothing but cry in the shower afterwards.

3) The father of Kalpana Chawla opposed her to go to US for masters.

4) Kalpana was born in Karnal, Haryana, but was a naturalised U.S. citizen, married to flight instructor Jean-Pierre Harrison. Besides being an astronaut, she was licensed to fly single and multi- engine land airplanes, single-engine seaplanes and gliders. She was also a certified flight instructor.

In November 1996, Chawla was assigned as a mission specialist on STS-87 aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia, becoming the first woman of Indian descent to fly in space. Chawla's second spaceflight experience came in 2001 when she was selected for the crew of STS-107.
