All Thanks to SRK & Swades: Twitterati on ISRO Satellite Launch

104 satellites in one go! Take a bow, ISRO.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) set a world record on 15 February by launching a whopping 104 satellites in a single mission.

Yes, 104 satellites. You read that right! If you missed The Quint’s Facebook Live of the launch, here’s what it looked like:

ISRO Launches Satellites Like Rockets In Diwali. Twitter Is Awed.

And It Was All Thanks To Shah Rukh Khan?!

The Internet remembers Mohan AKA SRK’s pivotal ‘Swades’ act of choosing ISRO over NASA.

SRK planned to join ISRO when quitting NASA in Swades. Look what we've achieved in last decade. SRK is king.
