Praising his ISS colleague, Shukla said, "It has been made incredible because of all the people involved. It was an incredible joy to be here." Looking back on his journey, Shukla said: "Over the past 2.5 weeks, we have done a lot of science on the station. We have done outreach activities and looked back at the Earth whenever we found time. It also seems magical to me." Referring to the words of Rakesh Sharma, India's first astronaut to visit space, Shukla said: "41 years ago, an Indian went to space and said how India looks from space." "We will like to know how India looks from space now. India looks ambitious, fearless, confident and proud from space today." "India still looks 'sare Jahan se accha' from space," he said. Axiom 4 or Mission 'Akash Ganga' is the first firm step for India's Gaganyaan human space flight mission. Support Our Journalism
