These few lines talk about her ‘So-Called-Mistake’ (Which NASA has cleared her of) "in her only other space flight, in 1996, that sent a satellite tumbling out of control, and two spacewalkers had to go out and capture it"

If this was so, why did NASA send her for this second mission in first place? The fact is "A post-flight NASA evaluation had absolved her of blame" ABCNews.

Few lines Profile of a dead person must contain his/her achievements and not mistakes, if any. It's disheartening to know that this is the best they can write about Kalpana...one who took risks to go up there. What exactly they want their readers to infer out of this? There are many publications that are gleefully publishing this misinformation in Kalpana’s profile (which is not at all required)

But there is a positive side to this too. Many people are writing to these media editors with copy to IndiaCause. Guess what? They are falling in line. NYTimes, MSNBC have already removed this misinformation. After our mass emails to global media during Maxim issue, they know IndiaCause very well. Thanks to Maxim.

NYTimes earlier Reported:
"Chawla emigrated to United States from India in 1980s and became an astronaut in 1994. She was an aerospace engineer and an FAA Certified Flight Instructor. With CDR Rick Husband, she was responsible for maneuvering Columbia as part of several experiments in the shuttle's payload bay. On her only other spaceflight, in 1997, she made mistakes that sent science satellite tumbling out of control. Other astronauts had to go on spacewalk to capture it. She had previously logged more than 376 hours in space."

After several complaints they have changed it to: (Front Page; About the Crew on Right hand side)
"Dr. Chawla emigrated to United States from India in the 1980's and became an astronaut in 1994. She was an aerospace engineer and an F.A.A. Certified Flight Instructor. With Col. Rick Husband, she was responsible for maneuvering Columbia as part of several experiments in the shuttle's payload bay. She had previously logged more than 376 hours in space."

MSNBC earlier reported
Kalpana Chawla wanted to design aircraft when she emigrated to the United States from India in the 1980s. The space program was the furthest thing from her mind. But "one thing led to another," the 41-year-old engineer said, and she was chosen as an astronaut in 1994. On her only other space flight, in 1996, Chawla made mistakes that sent a satellite tumbling out of control, and two spacewalkers had to go out and capture it. Some saw this flight as her chance to redeem herself.

Chawla was the first native of India to fly on a space shuttle but the second in space, after Rakesh Sharma, who flew on an Indo-Soviet mission in 1984. This was Chawla's second space flight."

Some details about that particular mission:

The Spartan deployment did not go exactly as planned. What happened? (in her own words)

More on the problems with the Spartan satellite: http://www.chron.com/cgi-bin/auth/story.mpl/content/interactive/space/missions/sts87/chronicle_stories/shuttle1206.html

More on the Spartan satellite, a description that matches Kalpana's description: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-87/sts-87-day-03-highlights.html

I assume everyone knows that Maxim Magazine has formally apologized. (I shall write details later).

I did my best in "Hindi". I am sure Ms. Sumanji will edit this interview in such a way that it will sound a "Better" one.
