The school for astronauts hidden inside a Swiss mountain

Lingard

Hidden deep under the Swiss Alps, a group of students spent weeks living like astronauts in an abandoned military fortress turned lunar base. The Asclepios project — the world's first student-led space mission — tests how humans might one day survive on the Moon. Inside cold tunnels, they eat astronaut food, wear spacesuits, and study how darkness affects the body and mind. But beyond science, this mission is about courage and teamwork — the kind of training that could turn today's dreamers into tomorrow's explorers.
