The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has decided to take two Indians to the moon onboard their next manned mission. The space agency, which first found traces of water on the earth's natural satellite through the first phase of its ambitious Chandrayaan-series mission, has thrown open its doors for applications from candidates willing to hitch a ride to the moon on board Chandrayaan-II. Dr T.K. Alex, director ISRO Satellite Centre, said, "He has to be physically good, mentally strong and should be able to take challenges. So there are so many criteria to select an astronaut. Anybody meeting those criteria and passing those tests is a candidate, any Indian." Source : India Today Proud to be Indian
