Indian Express reports about a story of an astronaut mom, who had to stay away from her 10 year old son to be at the International Space Station conducting experiments that will help science.
Jamey, a fourth grader from Massachusetts, was killing time before dawn on Saturday at a division of the Central Scientific Research Institute of Machine Building, waiting to say hello to his mother, Catherine G Coleman. She was 218 miles above western Africa, waiting to board the International Space Station for five months of scientific experiments.
