Exploration of closer planets will continue. Only after he exhausts all the resources here on earth will man go further ahead, which is when interplanetary travel may take place.
Priorities have to be allocated by the government because they have a complete picture of the country’s requirements. If priority is allocated to a manned space programme, I’m confident we can swing it. But it’s going to be tremendously expensive – the infrastructure and so on.
The earth appears fragile and defenceless in the harsh environment of space and when one sees the amount of technology required to keep a human alive in that environment, one begins to feel blessed that one is an inhabitant of planet earth that supports human life.
Watching sunrise and sunset from space, which is a beautiful sight, has been a personal privilege I have attained while being there. Another reflection from within I felt was that there was nothing which was neither visible and nor with a supportive environment as to how Planet Earth is.
I had pretty much done it all before I went into space. So when the opportunity came, I went along. It was that simple.
With space exploration picking up, low-cost access to space will be required and I believe that Isro will be the go-to agency that would provide value for this kind of activity.

So much had already been done in space before that, it had all been documented and there were no real surprises in store for us.
I saw my country first. Because, whoever gets up into space from whichever nationality, the first thing they do is they look out for their country. That is what I did. The Indian peninsula with the ocean on all three sides. And it was a beautiful sight.
Stars appear as pin-points of light. They don’t twinkle there as they do when we see them from earth because the atmospheric blanket is not there.
I was the 128th human in space. So I didn’t really sweat about it.
Yes, we have ruined the Earth and have done an exceptionally good job of it. Yes, we should look at sustainable development. But we cannot afford to do things sequentially, but parallelly and make sure that we do not repeat our mistakes.
If I were part of Gaganyaan, I could have been sure that for the next few years, there would have been a second space mission and a third space mission.
In my opinion, future space exploration will require us to inhabit the moon, initially, and later Mars. This is a humongous task for any one nation to carry out.
