How Did India Look From Space? Sunita Williams Explains, "Himalayas.."

Indian origin astronaut Sunita Williams back from her 286-day stay in the space elaborates India as incredible. "Amazing, just amazing," she replied when asked on how India looked from space. At International Space Station, a space lab that hosts astronauts from across the globe.

Every time we went over the Himalayas, Butch (Wilmore, fellow astronaut) got incredible pictures, it is just amazing," said Ms Williams. Sunita Williams was mesmarized by the breathtaking views of grand Himalayas from eastern ghats to western costal line her fellow mates took pictures of the country from above.

"I have described it before like this ripple that happened obviously when the plates collided and then, as it flows down into India, it is many-many colours. I think when you come from the East going into Gujarat and Mumbai, and (you see) the fishing fleet that is off the coast there, it gives you a little bit of a beacon, here we come. All throughout India, I think the impression that I had was this network of lights and from the bigger cities going to the smaller cities, and just incredible to look at night as well as during the day highlighted of course by the Himalayas which is just incredible as the forefront going down into India," she said.

Ms Williams was also asked if she would help the Indian space flight programme. "I hope we can meet up at some point and share our experiences with as many people in India - why as possible because it is a great country and another wonderful democracy. That is trying to put its foot in the space countries and would love to be a part of that and help them along," she replied.
