Twenty students of Ryan International School at Vasant Kunj recently visited National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This 10-day trip to NASA's Kennedy Space Centre set an aim in the lives of all the students. It was a lesson for life for all of them in which they understood the importance of carrying out research in gravity and then transferring it for the use of mankind. They had the opportunity of interacting with Astronaut Sam Durrance to learn that travelling to Mars is not a difficult task and also about his own experience as an astronaut.
