Indians on Twitter — from top politicians to business executives — are celebrating one of the women who flew to the edge of space along with Richard Branson.
Sirisha Bandla, who is the vice president of government affairs and research operations at Virgin Galactic (SPCE), roared into the sky over New Mexico early Sunday along with Branson and two other employees, Beth Moses and Colin Bennett.
According to the US Embassy in India, Bandla is the third Indian-origin woman to fly into space after Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams, both American citizens.
