Reply to comment by CrAzY_cOdeR4 in TIL This is Rakesh Sharma. Alive and well, He was the first Indian to go to space in 1984, making India the 14th nation in the world to send a man to Outer Space. by CrAzY_cOdeR4

It was a race between countries that actually developed the technology (United States and Soviet Union). India contributed nothing to the tech that actually got Rakesh Sharma into space since he flew on a Soviet rocket.
