In today's episode, we sit down with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla IAF test pilot, Gaganyaan astronaut, and the first Indian to reach the International Space Station for one of the most extraordinary conversations we have ever had.

We cover everything: how rockets actually work, what 5G force feels like on your chest, what happens to your body the moment you reach zero gravity (your head swells, your heart shrinks, your tears float in your eyes), the 98% water recycling system, and the deeply emotional moment of flying over India at 400 km.

And the worst advice in the world: "Be practical." Only a person suffocated by an unlived dream says that.
