I see our tax dollars are hard at work solving such important problems such as what space smells like. After all, we can't be spending it on anything silly like space stations or various ozone aiding technologies, can we?
Apparently like Fried Steak. Yum.
Space smells of steak, say Nasa

OUTER space smells of fried steak, scientists revealed yesterday.
The universe also has an aroma of hot metal and motorbike welding, Nasa experts said.
Astronauts reported the bizarre scents on their suits when they returned from space walks.
The space agency has commissioned Steven Pearce of British fragrance firm Omega Ingredients to recreate the smells to help train spacemen.
He said: “When astronauts were de-suiting and taking off helmets, they all reported quite particular odours.
“We have already produced the smell of fried steak, but hot metal is more difficult.
“We think it’s a high energy vibration in the molecule and that’s what we’re trying to add to it now.”
Mr Pearce told pupils at Moorside High School, Manchester, he hoped the smells would be ready this year.

My guess is that this is compiled by reports by astronauts after space walks.
But this layer, ozone layer is important as the technologies too, so we should spend some dollars to fix it. Well what happened in this Space is just what we do down in the earth by our hand , the ozone hole become bigger and bigger so every thing now can pass thought and also can go out of it so if the is a smell in the space it’s because our
Foolish beating
And what if space smelled like ass?How would they recreate that smell I wonder? The ol pull my finger for tax dollars?

I wonder what they DO with the recreated fragrances? How does it help with training?
And where in space were they where they smelled this fried steak?
And Trunks... at the moment, I can't think of anything more important than fried steak. I have the munchies. Besides, when their equipment malfunctions, Im sure the SMELL of the atmosphere is of upmost importance.

... Not Ever Again...
Why in the hell do they need to know what space smells like? D:
I wonder if they discussed the importance of the topic at all...
"Hey guys, shouldn't we be spending our time on more... important things?"
"..."
"Just, smells? I dunno, it doesnt seem too-..."
"Joe?"
"Yeah-"
"Shutup."
"Look man, one of us is going to have to tackle you, and it's going to be very uncomfaturable... for everyone invovled!"
It was probably really sweat and urine but steaks and motorcycles sound much more appealing.“When astronauts were de-suiting and taking off helmets, they all reported quite particular odours.
On a more serious note, I think it was just their head messing with their senses. They probably smelled what they were longing for all that time in space. I know I would be thinking of a good juicy stake when all I can eat for months at a time comes out of a tube.
