Dear Reader,
What if I told you Ladakh is helping India prepare for life on the Moon & Mars?
In November 2024, a 21-day secretive "space analogue mission" tested how humans could survive on the Moon or Mars.
A self-sustaining, inflatable habitat—powered by solar energy and equipped with hydroponics—became home to an analogue astronaut cut off from the world.
Could this be the first step towards an Indian lunar base? Could Ladakh be the training ground for India's future spacefarers?
