Interview with T.N. Suresh Kumar, traveller and former ISRO scientist | THE WEEK

T.N. Suresh Kumar, a former ISRO scientist, had cherished a lifelong ambition to see the earth from the vantage point of space. He came close to getting on a flight to space—ISRO had planned a manned mission to space in the mid-1980s, in collaboration with NASA. Kumar signed up for selection and made it to the final four from 800-odd aspirants. But, after NASA's Challenger broke apart killing all seven crew members, the mission was called off.This left him highly disappointed. He had sleepless nights. But, he found a way to cope. Since he could not go to space, he decided to travel across the world. He has so far visited 167 countries and all seven continents. The intrepid scientist shares his adventures with THE WEEK.
