Thirty-year-old Rajendra Bhatta of Bhim Dutta Municipality-4 was recently selected as the Satellite Calibration Scientist at the NASA centre based in the state of Virginia.
Bhatta obtained his Master's Degree in Engineering at the Dakota University on scholarship and was selected for the famed global post with the help of professors at his university.
Following his success, people are flocking to Bhatt's home to congratulate his family members, who claim he is the first Nepali scientist to ever work for NASA.
Before leaving Nepal, Bhatta, who graduated in electronic and engineering from the Pulchowk Engineering Campus, had worked as an engineer for the Nepal Airlines Corporation for two years.
I am so fired up by this posting and don't know why I am wasting my time trying to understand this article.......After reading the article again.... I am thinking maybe this article is correct afterall though not complete..........................Mr Bhatta may indeed be the first scientist to ever work for NASA ( and people.... this is what www.kantipuronline.com failed to clarify) .................from Bhim Dutta Municipality-4 as the Calibration Scientist who graduated from Dakota University. This is just me expressing my frustration at Kantipuronline for not checking the facts prior to publishing this news.
