Fun Fact! Msytery of Rukma Vimana and Modern Spacecrafts
Recently, SpaceX sent four passengers into Earth orbit aboard the Crew Dragon spaceship. A concept for an aeroplane dubbed Rukma Vimana may be found in the book Vaimanika Shastra. G. R. Josyer disclosed the book in 1952, claiming that it was authored by Pandit Subbaraya Shastry (1866–1940), who dictated it between 1918 and 1923. In 1957, the first spacecraft was launched. Looking at the images above, you can see how similar these designs are. So, how did a Pandit in India envisage the concept of a spaceship 34 years before the first spacecraft launched? Is it just a coincidence?
