Sunita Williams visited India yesterday at the invitation of National Council of Science Museums, Kolkata. She interacted with the students and tried to familiarize them with the opportunities in the space research and missions. She said, "Obviously, there is capability in India to do lot more in space research. So far, (the country) is launching satellites and launching people. The kids here are interested in space because I have always got questions (like) how can we be part of international space station, how can we be astronauts (etc). The government should accelerate the space programmes.”

About Indo-US space missions, Williams said, "I think there was a question about potentially going down to ISRO and I didn’t have permission to go and visit people down there. But, now I know that people from ISRO and NASA are talking together. So, I see that that potential is growing and progressing."
