“Perhaps one day we will be able to live on the moon or on other planets, perhaps we will be able to harness energy from space and make our planet even better. There are so many challenges that seem impossible at one time, but become a reality if we study them and figure out how to tackle them.”
― A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, My Life: An Illustrated Biography: An Illustrated Autobiography

“Don’t pretend to be a candle, be a moth. Know the power hidden in serving. We seem to have got stuck with external forms of politics and mistaking them to be nation-building. It is the sacrifices, toil and valour that and seldom shown or seen that truly makes a nation.”

“It was an exciting time and I enjoyed every minute of it even though I was working harder than ever before in my life.”

“After hearing visionaries like Vikram Sarabhai and working at T.E.R.L.S. I began to understand that being self sufficient also meant developing our own technologies and using that for the good of the nation. Our satellites provide many benefits to the ordinary people of the country—from communication to information that is utilized by soldiers, fishermen, farmers, teachers, students and people from almost every walk of life. By making our own rockets that could go into space and put satellites into orbit or touch the surface of the moon or even reach Mars, we have become a nation that is respected for our technological capabilities. Our satellite launch vehicles and facilities bring in valuable revenue when they are used by other countries.”
