When the journey started, it was something like this - you were being pushed back on the seat. It was an amazing journey. And then suddenly nothing felt like you were floating in the void. I am learning like a child, how to walk and eat in space. - Indian Air Force pilot and astronaut- Shubhanshu Shukla
