There is no air in the space and have you thought of how it would smell like?

Space is a vacuum and no astronauts could have ever smelled it in the traditional sense, but they have smelled it indirectly. When astronauts are working outside the International Space Station, the smell of space adheres to their spacesuits, and they then carry the distinct odor back into the station. NASA Scientist, Louis Allamandola explained that the odor-causing spaceborne organic compound are found in coal, oil and even barbecue. No wonder some astronauts have described the smell of space as the seared steak!

In order to help astronauts get used to the space environment before launch into orbit, NASA and chemists developed a scent mimicking the smell of space decades ago. Recently, a team in the US manufactures a perfume to bring this smell back down to Earth according to the recipe released by NASA for astronauts' training. They hope to donate the perfumes to local kindergartens, primary and secondary school for the STEM education through senses. The approaches to learn about the space keep emerging as the mindblowing discoveries of the universe. So, could you imagine the next milestone in space exploration?
