After multiple delays, Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, along with three others, embarked on a space odyssey as the Axiom-4 mission launched on Wednesday.
The astronauts began their journey to the International Space Station (ISS) from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 12:01 pm IST. Shukla, who is serving as the pilot for the private space mission, scripted history, becoming the only Indian after Rakesh Sharma to venture on a journey to space.
Apart from the historic feat, something else caught netizens’ attention as Space X’s Falcon-9 rocket lifted off – the four astronauts’ playlist for the launch day.
