New Delhi, Jan 11: India-born American astronaut
Sunita Williams, who flew over the country in the
international space station, described the country as
"colourful and really beautiful".

"It is beautiful to see the countrysides. There are so
many colours. I think I have mentioned that before being in
India, how colourful it is. From the space, it is the same,"
Sunita, speaking via satellite from the international space
station, told a gathering here.

"We can see the green on the fields, the red in the
mountains ... And the snow. It is really beautiful," she said
adding the space crew had the luxury of flying over India a
number of times.

On sending more Indians to the space, she said be it from
India or from anywhere else in the world "I think it is
absolutely a great idea. It allows people to work together
from all different backgrounds and professions.
