Beyond sky

It was 2nd April, 1984

When the first Indian citizen

Travelled in space aboard SoyuzT-11.

However, that was a Soviet mission.

India has a long cherished ambition

Of its own man mission in space.

The announcement by the Prime Minister of India recently

Has brought this mission on priority

Of the Indian Space Research Organization

Which has said that year 2022 deadline is very much doable.

The mission will not only be a pride of India

It will also be the capacity and capability to undertake such missions

Will be the actual achievement.
