Who is the best?
We dont want to find out here.
I am a fan of both of them(slightly more on Kalpana's side).
These two women, who have promoted the Indian Space programme to such an extent, that we are even comparable to the Chinese in the Space supremacy.
Sunita Williams, the one in focus in the indian newspapers of late, has been a tremendously talented girl since her childhood and with an insight to deliver to the extreme.But unlike Kalpana, she was born and grown up in the US(that makes her an US citizen).Although she is no way related to India, she has her ancestral roots here.She has also served the US military with outstanding records.
On the other hand, Kalpana Chawla, was born and grown up in India, in Punjab.She was extremely talented and shy.She used to be very attracted to flying and hence choosing her career as an aeronautical engineer wasn't a difficult job.She left India for the US and studied in California and secured her family life there. She began working with NASA and went for low altitude flights.But her luck didnt go her way when she died in the columbia mission on 01/02/03.
