Ever wonder what Outer Space might smell like?

What Does Space Smell Like? | Popular Science

The final frontier smells a lot like a Nascar race!

Though a pure, unadulterated whiff of outer space is impossible for humans (it’s a vacuum after all; we would die if we tried), when astronauts are outside the ISS, space-borne compounds adhere to their suits and hitch a ride back into the station. Astronauts have reported smelling “burned” or “fried” steak after a space walk, and they aren’t just dreaming of a home-cooked meal.

And the Moon, well it smells like Gunpower!

I love the smell of gunpower in the morning.

I wonder why their suits might have a burned smell. Could it be that when the sun strikes the suits, with no atmosphere to protect them, the sun rays burn parts of the suits or items on the suit that are too small to see, yet burn none-the-less?

Yeah .. smells like barbeque, for just a few milliseconds, until your head explodes.
