Interactive Talk by Cosmonaut Vladimir Djanivekov
April 17, 2013; Cosmonaut Vladimir Djanivekov, 5-times space traveler from Russia today shared his cosmic experiences with Nepali professionals from various technical and academic societies. Participants joined with him touring infinite space to closely observe our mother earth, other planets, moons, stars, and other many asteroids, comets, meteoroids and galaxies. It was something like standing on a beautiful white sand beach gently showered by fragrant island flowers.
