Video of astronaut performing Assamese folk dance Bihu in space goes viral
Assamese people celebrated Rongali Bihu recently. But what do you do if you are an astronaut and in space during the festival? You still dance and celebrate the festival. A twitter user shared a video of Mike Fincke, an astronaut performing Bihu, a folk dance from Assam, at the international space station in 2004. “Mike is Assam’s son-in-law, married to Renita Saikia, who also works at NASA,” Twitter user Anupam Bordoloi wrote. Mike ups his game by doing some cartwheels in the video. To make the Rongali Bihu authentic, he wore a red and white cloth in his neck. The cloth is known as gamosaa, which is an important part of the Bihu dance.
What's #RongaliBihu without song and dance. Here's #NASA astronaut Mike Fincke performing Bihu aboard the International Space Station in 2004.
