Life as an analog astronaut
Let us know what you think of SpaceX, science fiction and more in our Space.com Forums here!
We kick off this week’s wrap-up with our latest AMA. This time, our guest is none other than Space.com Senior Writer Chelsea Gohd. A familiar face in our community, Chelsea is taking your questions concerning her experience as an analog astronaut. Today Space.com premiered a mini documentary following the Space Chat host as she takes on this challenge.

Today is the last day of our special SpaceX giveaway, courtesy of The Space Store. You’ve only got until TONIGHT at 11:59 PM EDT, so hurry on over to this thread and get your entries in!
Alternate Earth?
It's one of the more fascinating questions about space enthusiasts: Is there another Earth-like planet out there? The community has some theories:
There has to be some Earths floating around somewhere. Different Temp, different gravity, different color, etc. - natureday
YES AND NO: There are earths out there, but they aren't exactly earths. There are Earth-like planets, but they aren't exactly earths. Unless you think of alternate universes. Then there could be Earths - ThePatriotBeast
