It seems that people in India – particularly kids – are more facsinated by Sunita Williams and her achivements. I was talking to my sister yesterday and she mentioned that my 10 yr old niece and 6 yr old nephew were watching her on TV and my neice said she wants to be an astraunaut when she grows up. Her little brother immediately responded – “Do you know what happened to Kalpana Chawla?”
Just an example of how exposure to media affects peoples’ thinking in both ways – good & bad!!!
