“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
When Neil Armstrong took his first historic step on the moon on July 20, 1969, his words inspired the entire world for space research and exploration. It made what humankind hitherto thought was impossible possible, and let many young people dream of the stars.
Young people in Nepal are not alien to the thought although Nepal’s presence in space has not been recorded so far. For example, Dipesh Poudel always thought of space exploration to be something “very cool and exciting” when he saw it in movies. “I dreamt of being an astronaut, to reach the dark side of the moon.” With Curiosity and SpaceX’s mission to Mars, his desire to be an astronaut grew bigger.
