THE STENCH OF SPACE

Speaking of strange aromas, NASA reported last week that outer space smells like a mixture of fried steak, hot metal and motorbike welding. The news came after the space agency commissioned a fragrance firm to recreate the smells in order to make astronaut training more realistic. According to reports from astronauts who have returned from space walks, the peculiar smell was all over their space suits after they returned to Earth. (Daily Mail)
