Abstract of the Article for Times of India, Bangalore edition, 22nd October 208, page 15.
India's space research programme began at a church in Thumba, Kerala in the year 1962.
Bishop of Thiruvananthapuram helped ISRO to convince villagers who were emotionally attached to the church to hand it over to ISRO to begin its space research programme.
"the villagers paused a while, and chorused, "Amen", indicating that they were ready to give up".
Space experts later commented that that it was an auspicious beginning for India’s space missions. The small place of worship became the mainstay for the team of rocket scientists, including Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
India hasn't quite gone cycling to the moon, but the scientistists and villagers will all remember the church where the space expedition began in th right earnest.
Thanks to Times of India.
