Earth versus space chess match

For all readers who are interested in chess or space travel, there is an Earth versus astronaut match on at the moment here. People can vote for the Earth's move at the website and anyone can take part, I think. The astronaut is considering his move presently.

Earth as black is a pawn up after some queenside tactics and looks like it has an advantage, although our king is still in the centre. It is only a couple of moves from consolidation, but the astronaut may be able to open things up quickly along the centre files.
