Abstract: | SPACE ANNIVERSARY Today marks an important day in the history of manned space flights. Exactly 50 years ago, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made the first manned space journey. Twenty years later, on the same day, space shuttle Columbia was launched. Eventually, Columbia met its end in February 2003, killing its seven astronauts including Kalpana Chawla, while re-entering the earth’s atmosphere, writes C Sivaram |
