Answer 1

Answer:

Some 30 years ago, a wide-eyed, impressionable girl stood beneath a towering rocket inside one of India’s earliest rocket launching stations in Kerala.

The rocket was readying to be fired in a few days. The student, on a school trip to the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station in Thiruvananthapuram, quietly relished the experience of being near a real rocket — “fascinated” by something she knew “little about”.
