'DREAM COME TRUE': MissORUSA Manju Bangalore is headed to space
Manju Bangalore recently spoke with Fox News Digital about her lifelong dream to become an astronaut, saying she has"wanted to be an astronaut since [she] was 4 years old" and heard about Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian woman to go to space. She is now one step closer to achieving her goal.
The flight will take place on Aug. 19 in Oakland, California. Bangalore explained to Fox News Digital that this is one of two ways to experience zero gravity – the other way being in a modified aircraft here on Earth.During her flight, Bangalore will experience both weightlessness and"the opposite of weightlessness," also known as hyper-gravity,"which is about 1.8 times the gravity here on Earth.
"For the totality of the flight, you experience zero gravity for about 8 minutes," she continued."That doesn't sound like a lot, but on the first American human spaceflight in the history of this country, we sent Alan Shepard up for 8 minutes of zero gravity, so it's the same amount of time that the first American astronaut experienced zero gravity.
Manju Bangalore hopes to inspire young girls to follow all of their passions and not box themselves in.
