Outer Space Smells Like Steak

[jkwest]

clicky

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.

I thought the forum needed a little lightening...too much tension hanging around after the LBP thread and the PiNOY thread...

uranus is covered by a blueish green cloud of gas

Uranus has rings of ice and small rock particles which are so faint they appear as black as charcoal

Uranus is composed of 85% hydrogen and 15% helium, with trace amounts of methane

Uranus is tilted at a unique 98-degree angle

A year on Uranus would last 84 years.

Uranus is also surrounded by 13 faint rings

Uranus wasn't officially discovered until March 13, 1781

Typical government. Rather that simply tell new astronauts to prepare themselves for some unusual scents, they'll likely pay some outrageous sum of money to a contractor to reproduce them.

Too bad they don't have a smell-o-scope (a la Futurama).

Well eventually, sooner or later, they'll get so tired of the whole Uranus joke, they'll eventually change it to Urectum.
