Moreover, he feels that as an Indian American he has an obligation and standard to uphold for every Asian American currently presiding in the country. They have been stereotyped for too long for being weak and scrawny and not being able to do things that most other Americans could with ease. Therefore, Raja feels that is it is his duty to ensure that he can break the stigmas of individuals who feel that Asians are not good enough for tasks like these and to show them that it is a big feat they can accomplish as well.

Raja is known for his hard work and intelligence which has led him to such great heights. While the NASA Lunar program is still a long way to go as many other missions have been planned as well it is still a sight to behold as the country becomes more inclusive of its minorities.
