Now let’s talk about space. The renewed push for space exploration has become a priority for scientists and astronauts. To avoid unexpected challenges up there, training is carried out on Earth to simulate human life on other planets.
Or even life on the Moon. And that is exactly what was done here in Portugal. Seven international scientists spent a week isolated inside a cave on Terceira Island, in the Azores. It is called Gruta do Natal and has characteristics that simulate what life for seven humans on the Moon might be like.
