How to become an astronaut in Toulouse, France


My Destination Challenges in Occitanie kicked off in Toulouse at cité de l'espace! An how!!!
I had to step into the footsteps of an astronaut! An absolute dream coming true. :-)

Cité de l'espace is the heart of space travel in Europe and there you can learn all about the final frontie and become an astronaut for a day.

I had such a wonderful afternoon visiting the Ariane rocket & MIR space station replica and of course moon walking and taking a spin on the rotation chair just like astronauts do...

Find my vlog and photo log from the day below... ;-)

For the occasion I had my buddy Kash aka Budget Traveller with me to tackle Destination Challenges in Occitanie. This day we both had a different challenge though. He went on a quiz quest and I went into space :-D

I decided to catch up on my space knowledge at the IMAX first

Learned a whole deal about the Aurora and how it's formed. Something with solar outbursts and the earth's magnetic field
