That Time When I Was Almost An Astronaut

January Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Self”

Sadly both spacesuits did not fit.

We were on a trip to Tirupati — basically tagging along with Sury as he had a conference to attend. My son and I made our own agenda and had a great time visiting the zoo, the rock garden, a fabulous palace, the waterfalls, and lots more.

At the science center, they had a wonderful sound and light 3-d show we watched. A very well-organized exhibition was also on and there, we saw the opportunity for kids to get behind this spacesuit and get their photos clicked. I always wanted to be an astronaut and saw my chance. Obviously, that was a bugle call to me and I got there pretty quick, in the queue among kids, much to my son’s amused embarrassment. He refused to pose. Sigh. Also, the spacesuit did not fit.

Not one to give up, I tried on the one at the Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum in Bangalore. This one did fit! And thus were my hopes of going into space fulfilled.

And you thought Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos got there first? HMPH!

Thank you, Mary Chang Story Writer for this most enjoyable trip down memory lane where I get to look at all my goofy photos and relive the joy!

One of the reasons I write is to support underprivileged children. Would you consider buying me a cup of coffee? ☕ You can also use Ko-Fi. Thank you so much!
