It successfully led a rocket in and out of suborbit, paving the way for the mission to the moon. After that kind of pioneering adventure, you might expect this metal explorer to be safely ensconced in a museum somewhere. But until very recently, it wasn't. Instead, it was languishing in obscurity—first in a scrap heap, then in storage in Houston, Texas.

“We must remain mad in order to be sane”
“How, then, is the past and history, and through them Kashmir itself, imagined in contemporary narratives from the region?
