Default Indian "Vyomanauts" All Set To Rise Up In Space

"Reports indicate that the Indian media has
branded its astronauts as "vyomanauts", a
word derived from the Sanskrit language.

According to a report in New Scientist, the
tongue-twisting term comes from the Sanskrit
for sky or space - that is - 'vyoma'."
