Chris Hadfield is probably the coolest guy we've ever had in space. Sure, there are people that have done monumental things and accomplished crazy firsts, but none of them had been as open with the huge amount of curious people on Earth!

Chris was very good about answering questions online and doing video demonstrations about what goes on in the International Space Station — something he could find time to do, even though he was the Commander. He taught us about brushing teeth to cleaning up spills, and he even promised to cover Space Oddity on his guitar as requested by his followers on the internet.

HOLY SHIZZ DID HE DELIVER (above)!

He also made sure to plug a dangerous ammonia leak during an impromptu space walk before turning over command and heading back to Earth!

What an amazeballs dude! WE OWE HIM A BEER! Ha!

So, you guys realize that there are a lot more people out there than you'd think that have $500,000 to blow, right?

Take that simple fact and it hits home that Elon Musk just might be putting people on Mars much sooner than we thought!

It's true, here at SpacePerez we don't F around when it comes to space. Space is as legit as it gets! LOLz!

That means when we say that Elon is planning to send people to Mars — about 80,000 of them — for $500,000 a piece, you know it isn't some dream.

The list of places we want to see is just growing and growing — and we don't mean here on Earth.

Space travel will be a reality some day, and if they don't stop finding new planets, we here at SpacePerez.com will never have enough time to see them all.

Science has just discovered THREE more exoplanets (planets not in our solar system).

This is a big find, because

Have you ever seen anything this beautiful?

Forget about all the turmoil and hatred and bigotry in the world for a few minutes and think about the planet itself.

It's incredible — and nobody knows that better than space station astronauts. Some of them got together and edited this video capturing the earth hurtling past beneath and the stars forming kaleidoscopes as the space station tumbles past.

Simply stunning.

We want to go to there.

Here, we've got your SpaceX update! And it's a doozy!

SpaceX's Dragon space capsule, the one that will have humans in it, has passed a key design review, moving one step closer to carrying astronauts into orbit!

Here's a fact that will make you crap your pants:

Sir Richard Branson says they've now accepted deposits for suborbital flights on SpaceShipTwo from 529 future astronauts — which is more than the total count of people who have been to space throughout human history.

Oh Titan, you ARE the most interesting moon out there, aren't you??

If only we could convince Saturn to let us have a better look!

Just a few weeks ago we were talking about the tropical oasis found on Titan, and now we're hearing something even more exciting: below those methane lakes and pools is an ocean… of normal water!
