Doesn't outer space smell like burning metal and popcorn?I want to smell like outer space. Failing that, freshly cooked curried bacon.
Personally vanilla would be a pretty good one.

That's supposedly what astronauts smell in the airlock and on their stuff after a spacewalk, yes. But you could argue that's not smelling actual space, but stuff that's been in space. Not space enough in my book. Now maybe that's all too vague, but I don't mind. Only all of space all at once is enough.Doesn't outer space smell like burning metal and popcorn?
I heard it smelled of burnt steak. If I were up there, I'd just open the window, take a deep whiff, and get a definitive answer. Of course, that'd result in a violent expulsion effectively turning me inside out, but it'd be worth knowing what space smells like for a second before shedding this mortal coil forever. #LifeGoalsDoesn't outer space smell like burning metal and popcorn?
If you're going to go out, might as well let the perfume industry know was space smells like. There's an entire untapped market for that.I heard it smelled of burnt steak.

I'll try, but my transmission back to earth might be cut short for certain, lethal reasons. That said, I'll confidently assume space does not smell like frozen human remains despite the results of my "research."If you're going to go out, might as well let the perfume industry know was space smells like.

Oh just bring a few others with you and have them in space suits, with radios, so in your last agonizing moments before you kinda implode in a cloud of blood crystals and flash frozen organs, you can comment on what type of burning metal and how much butter on the popcorn space smells like.I'll try, but my transmission back to earth might be cut short for certain, lethal reasons.

Unlikely, you'd be going from 1 atmosphere to zero, not much of a pressure difference. You could probably do it very quickly and live to tell the tale.Of course, that'd result in a violent expulsion effectively turning me inside out, but it'd be worth knowing what space smells like for a second before shedding this mortal coil forever. #LifeGoals

I like how neither of you are worried about my lack of good judgement or my personal well-being. This was a cry for help, people; my blood is on YOUR hands. Goodbye, cruel world!Unlikely, you'd be going from 1 atmosphere to zero, not much of a pressure difference. You could probably do it very quickly and live to tell the tale.
You sure? Cuz for about 10-15 seconds you'd also get to experience the sensation of the saliva on your tongue boiling.I like how neither of you are worried about my lack of good judgement or my personal well-being. This was a cry for help, people; my blood is on YOUR hands. Goodbye, cruel world!
But who am I kidding? As a coward to my core when it comes to the unknown, if you ever see me in space, I've been kidnapped.
My imminent death isn't meant be a learning experience, y'know, given the imminent death n'all. 15 seconds of knowing something at the end isn't worth the 42 years that have brought me here even IF there's an afterlife during which I can appreciate the learnings.You sure?

Oh no, it's 10-15 seconds of vacuum exposure before you pass out. The imminent death part only comes about a minute after.My imminent death isn't meant be a learning experience, y'know, given the imminent death n'all. 15 seconds of knowing something at the end isn't worth the 42 years that have brought me here even IF there's an afterlife during which I can appreciate the learnings.
I'll just stay alive then; you all are [ironically] killing my suicide-by-exposure-to-the-vacuum-of-space vibes with facts and reason. You'll have to endure my posts a while longer. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some shit to fling in Current Events...Oh no, it's 10-15 seconds of vacuum exposure before you pass out. The imminent death part only comes about a minute after.
Science isn't real unless you've personally experienced it.You could always do a chemical analysis of areas of space with something other than your nose. People have been doing that for years.
