Think of it like a dry run on earth for future space missions. Scientists, researches, and really all kinds of folks, have lived and worked in an isolated, extreme environment on Earth, like a desert, an Arctic island, or a sealed habitat, or at least one known case, their parent's backyard — to simulate what it would be like to live in space or on another planet.\nHost and producer Stuart Barefoot spoke with two analog astronauts about their journeys here on Earth.\nThe Analog Astronauts:\nJas Purewal- The World's Biggest Analog\nBen Corbin-  Rime of the Modern Mariner \nSources and Links\nSolomon, S.
