Why isn't my Python 3 code working?

I have to whip up a text editor (spin off of Adventures into Zork) game for my summative project.

This is my decision for the first zone. 

second = True
while second:
    firstLog = input(">")

This is where I am having problems, as when I input "Inside" or "In" the script gets terminated. 

if firstLog = "Inside" or "In" or "Space Ship":
    print("There is a small " color.Bold + "console " + color.End + "in front of you.")
    print("You can " + color.Bold + "input " + color.End + "or" + color.Bold + "Exit" + color.End)
    second = False

Also if I enter anything else it terminates as well instead of printing this and restarting the loop.

else:
    "Not valid."
    second = True

Few things. The final else you are missing a print statement. 

else:
    print("Not valid.")

The if firstLog should state the variable comparison again. 

if firstLog == "Inside" or firstLog == "In" or firstLog == "Space Ship":

better yet, you could do something like this:

if firstLog.lower() in ["inside", "in", "space ship"]:
