India is making significant strides in its space endeavors. Dr. S. Somnath, Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), discussed India's plans for its own space station and the prospects of a moon economy. He also provided updates on the Gaganyaan mission, which aims to send India's first astronaut of the 21st century into space by 2025. This astronaut will fly on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon, facilitated by Axiom Space, to the International Space Station. Additionally, the US-based Space Exploration and Research Agency (SERA) and Blue Origin have announced India as a partner nation in their human spaceflight program. This program allows Indian citizens to register for a chance to fly to space by paying a fee of $2.50 for verification checks. Joshua Skurla, co-founder of SERA, expressed excitement about India's inclusion, noting India's achievements, including reaching the Moon's southern pole. An Indian will also get a chance to fly on Blue Origin's New Shepard. The collaboration involves entities like NASA, PMOIndia, and Elon Musk.
