Could You Survive On The Moon?

October 6, 2025

Imagine trying to survive in conditions so extreme that Earth's worst blizzards feel like a tropical vacation — that's exactly what NASA's newest 10 astronauts are training for as they prepare to become humanity's first interplanetary weather survivors. These space pioneers will face lunar nights that drop to a bone-chilling -400°F, cosmic radiation and the ultimate survival challenge: learning to extract water from alien ice and build homes from moon dust. For the first time ever, more women than men made the cut for this elite group, proving it takes serious skills to turn frozen rocks on distant worlds into humanity's stepping stone to Mars.
