The private mission will have 4 lucky people from around the world for a permanent stay on Mars.

Taranjeet said, “All my life I always wanted to be involved in space missions. As a child, I spent hundreds of nights, gazing at the sky and always wanted aliens to abduct and take me into space.

He stated his faith in Sikhi offers a path for honest living and equal treatment for all people. “Being a Sikh, for me is like a great fortune. Everyone wants happiness in their life & Sikhism taught me everything related to happiness.
