Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson Set to Travel to Space Today--- what's interesting for me is that Sirisha Bandla is among them, a 34-year old Indian origin astronaut. Am proud that she is from my native place just 60km drive from my hometown.
Those who are interested can watch it live on Virgins YouTube channel in couple of hours.
Wishing everyone onboard Good luck and Bon Voyage
