Episode Notes

Episode Notes

From its inception in the 1960s, India's national space program - the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) - has evolved to become one of the largest in the world. Between now and 2050, they plan to send "vyomanauts" to orbit, build a space station, send crewed missions to the Moon, and create a lunar base.
