Out of all the social media posts that were going viral on Sushant’s birthday, one specific video caught people's attention. In the video, the actor was seen getting ready for his ideal project—a space movie—at the NASA headquarters. After completing a few more weeks of training, the actor would have earned the coveted "certificate of instructor," having participated in a NASA workshop.

Sushant shared this information on his Instagram handle with a post which read, “#Mytraining@USSRC.Nasa ! “The hatch that opens to the dreams, that which makes you week in the knees(at least 1/6 times:), and then even metaphorically, make you feel over the moon.” 

Talking about his space travel aspirations, Sushant had said in an interview, "I am planning to go to Houston to complete the training. It consists of everything that you need to know about going to space, including sitting in the centrifuge." 

He even expressed his desire to participate in NASA's 2024 moon mission saying, "NASA plans to send astronauts to the moon by 2024. I am planning to prepare myself for it, in case I get lucky."
