Born three years before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon, Sharad Bhaskaran spent his youth poring over
Star Trek reruns and devouring sci-fi novels.
“It was just the idea of exploring the unknown, a general fascination with the topic of sci-fi, and the idea of exploration,” Bhaskaran says. “That was pretty cool.” Since that momentous July day in 1969, only China and Russia have joined the United States as countries that have landed spacecraft on the moon. Most recently, in January 2019, China made history by landing a rover on the far side of the lunar surface.
