Moonrace Conference

Posted by

It’s not everyday you get to see an astronaut… even less, the first astronaut to perform a spacewalk… or a man who walked on the moon… and even less those two together 😀

We’re talking of Alexey Leonov and Buzz Aldrin, two space pioneers.

Well Ivan, Egor, Ryan, Maxim and Yusef got to witness this historical moment in a fantastic conference held in Lausanne where we could hear those two men telling us their stories from the space race.

The conference also had musical interludes by a rock band from the 60s and 70s and the Choir of the Red Army, paying tribute to both astronauts.

We could aslo see some mocks of a lunar model
