According to Astronauts, space smells funny. Ha! I thought it was something worth mentioning on my blog – since I have always been interested in space.
My wife knows that I would like to walk on the moon one day (any sponsors?). But until that day I will have to just read up and believe what the people who actually DO go into space have to say about it.
Apparently as they come back from space – as they move from the outer to the inner hatch, the smell of space enters OR stuck to their space suites. In this manner they know what space smalls like.
They say it smells different to anything else. Some say it smells like ozone or gunpowder. They say its not easy to explain but it has a faint acrid smell. It could be similar to burnt gunpowder or the ozone smell of electrical equipment.
Well – hopefully one day I will be able to confirm this, but till then I will just dream big.
