MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does Space smell like?
There are only a handful of people on the planet who know the answer to this one. Astronauts who have been in space. I’ve always wondered this, what does Space smell like? Does it even have a smell? Apparently the answer is yes.
Most former and current astronauts have all said the same thing when it comes to what they smell on spacewalks while floating at zero gravity. The distinct odor that always lingers they describe as hot metal or a searing steak. What a minute… Space smells like steak?! Get me on the next shuttle please. I need to eat a medium rare ribeye while looking back at Earth immediately.
