7. "Towards the end of my visit, I went to the Wallops Flight
Facility at Wallops Island in East Coast, Virginia. This place
was the base for NASA's sounding rocket programme. Here, I
saw a painting prominently displayed in the reception lobby. It
depicted a battle scene with a few rockets flying in the
background. A painting with this theme should be the most
commonplace thing at a Flight Facility, but the painting caught
my eye because the soldiers on the side launching the rockets were
not white, but dark-skinned, with the racial features of people
found in South Asia. One day, my curiosity got the better of me,
drawing me towards the painting. It turned out to be X's army
fighting the British. The painting depicted a fact forgotten in
X's own country but commemorated here on the other side of the
planet. I was happy to see an Indian glorified by NASA as a
hero of warfare rocketry."
