Indian-born astronaut Kalpana Chawla, right, stands next to schoolmate Desi Chawla, in an undated photograph taken in their hometown of Karnal and shown to the media in Karnal Haryana, India on Sunday Feb. 2, 2003. While Kalpana Chawla moved from Karnal more than two decades ago she remains a hero to the people who followed her career at NASA that ended with Saturday's space shuttle catastrophe.
