If nothing else, we can atleast just touch him. I mean how many of us have even seen Capt. Rakesh Sharma.. Let alone Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin or yuri Gagarin.
I have seen Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins AND shook hands with one of them. I was a kid when they visited India in 1969 and was watching their motorcade pass by Lady Jamsetji rd. near Mahim church. For some inexplicable reason the PM Indira Gandhi's car slowed down and all the others followed suit. I and a couple of kids darted on to the road shook hands and asked how big is the moon? Could not catch the reply in the cacphony.
