Help support our mission to the moon! Asclepios is currently fundraising for the last funds to make our mission happen. As you know from the show, we're a nonprofit association dedicated to education and science. We simulate a space mission to the moon to provide educational opportunities for students and perform scientific research with our academic partners.

Donate today on our Gofundme - you can find the link in the show notes -  and help us bring Asclepios V to life. Every contribution counts!

As a student-run nonprofit, Asclepios is entirely supported by donations and partnerships, and every bit helps to enable our students to access this opportunity to contribute to space research.

We are entirely committed to offering educational and scientific opportunities for free. Our astronaut program selects and trains students for no fee, making it accessible to every student that gets selected. Additionally, the experiments are integrated and performed free of charge for our scientific collaborators. Your contribution goes directly towards supporting science and education and will help us with expenses such as food for the astronauts, base rental, and the costs of transporting our materials to the "moon".

This mission is more than a simulation. Your donation helps to advance science, training the next generation of engineers, scientists, and explorers, and promoting international collaboration.
