Probabilistic limit analysis for collapse reconstruction and stability assessment of lunar lava tubes (PROMISE) received funding from the National Science Center in the SONATA 19 program. This is fantastic information for everyone interested in lava caves on the Moon! This would not have been possible without the support of many people. At the initial stage, the comments and assistance from Marek Kawa and Yan Lavallee were invaluable. Special thanks to Anna Chwała, who meticulously reviewed the application at various stages and provided valuable insights. I am also grateful to Goro Komatsu for guiding me in this new field of planetary science. As the application neared completion, Justyna Abel's cost estimation support was crucial, and the comments and suggestions from Danko Jerez were outstanding. Special thanks to the members of Academia Iuvenum for inspiration and advice in writing grant applications. Thank you all! Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting topic!

May was a busy month, featuring presentations on lava tube stability, a two-day lecture on limit analysis in Pescara, a seminar in Padua for the lava tube research team, and an invited lecture in Opole for the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture. Each event was a significant and enriching experience!
