Indian Origin Amit Kshatriya, NASA’s highest-ranking civil servant, does Indians Proud

The man who, as a child in 1986, watched the tragedy of seven astronauts killed in the Challenger space shuttle take off, is today leading humanity’s return to the Moon.

NEW YORK (TIP)With Indian roots, Amit Kshatriya’s journey carries a quiet global pride.
But it all began with a moment of tragedy.
In January 1986, while still in elementary school, he watched as the Challenger space shuttle exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts.
Instead of fear, it sparked something deeper.
It inspired him.
And that’s what stayed with him: the idea that even in failure, science demands we “get better.”
