Cosmic Odor?


Space smells like fried steak and hot metal. I'm serious.

NASA has paid a chemist from the British firm Omega Ingredients to recreate the odor for astronaut training.

My understanding is that the Universe is fairly large. Is there a chance that if we get closer to Saturn, that space smell like pot roast and a burning tire?

Can you imagine what was going through the mind of the guy at Omega Ingredients that took the call from NASA? "Let me get this straight, you want us to do what?"

I want to party with the guy at NASA who is in charge of the "Approved" stamp.
