siliconindia Salutes Chawla Date:   Friday , February 28, 2003 The NASA’s failed flight on 02-01-2003 lost seven astronauts. Among the seven was Dr. Kalpana Chawla, astronaut. This magazine salutes the intrepid entrepreneur from Karnal, India. siliconindia shares the diaspora’s anguish in the lost lives, and affirms its belief in the cause of exploring the unknown. In that, Chawla’s and the other astronauts’ deaths will not be in vain. As one billboard on the U.S. 101 said, “In reaching for the stars, they went to heaven.” We are proud of you. Rest in peace, Dr. Chawla.
