For Space Exploration Day, we bring to you a marketing advertisement executive, from Mumbai, who won a free ticket to space. While we all dream of going to space, Vinay Singh is the living embodiment of luck. The future astronaut was kind enough to talk to us and even showed us his training space jumpsuit.
Singh got the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Centre and was awarded the ticket to space by none other than Buzz Aldrin. Vinay shares with The Quint, his experience of being a part of the competition, his training at the Kennedy Space Centre and his excitement to get his ‘space’.
P.S.: He even let us in on the secret of going potty in space!
Due to a technical difficulty, the first video ended abruptly, hence we shot another for the end.
