The test involved launching a module to outer space and bringing it back to earth to test the spacecraft’s crew escape system.

India successfully carried out Saturday the first of a series of key test flights after overcoming a technical glitch ahead of its planned mission to take astronauts into space by 2025, the space agency said.

      I hope I live long enough to see some kind of permanent inhabited structure on the moon and a human step foot on mars. Hopefully both will be collaborative international endeavors.

        I genuinely believe space travel is going to be very cheap in next 50 years. It might be possible by 2070s to be in upper middle class and save for 3-4 years to take a vacation to luxury hotels on the moon, do space walks on the surface, bring back some moon dust for collection, finals of some popular sports happening on moon etc etc.
