We had spoken about Sunita Williams's visit to India but its worth mentioning her record breaking feat as well.
She holds 3 distinct records for female space travelers, they include:longest space flight - 195 days
number of spacewalks - four
total time spend on spacewalks - 29 hours 17 minutes
During her space odyssey some her possessions that made news included some samosas, the Bhagavad Geeta and a small Ganesha idol.
On April 16 this year Ms. Williams took part in the Boston Marathon from space and she completed it in 4 hours and 24 hours.
She became the first astronaut to run a marathon in orbit.
Here's fodder for some more discussion on the NASA astronaut.
