Yep and there ain't no open windows onboard a space ship:)
Mr Venetian, I can tell you are not going to let me have my space smell fantasy!;) I guess a space with no atmosphere is not going to have my dream aroma! Lol:)
On a serious note, I thought there was alot of debris floating around in space, or would this space junk not smell like regular garbage without the atmosphere?
Although there may be space debris, particles of it would have to travel through space and get to the astronauts nostrils. Ok, so, in the vastness of space, even if you just take the (geometric) plane of flight around the earth that the space craft is flying, the surface area of that plane is far greater than the surface of the earth, and the amount of debris deposited in that plane is zillions of times less than the debris left on the earths surface. The chances of sufficient particles from space debris being on a spacemans suit and then him smelling it once he removes his suit inside the spacecraft, uninterfered with by the smell of the craft itself, is uncountably unlikely. It would be like smelling an Australian gnats fart from the UK. 😀

Interesting topic. I have always thought that outer space is a complete vacuum.
Surely I cant be the one person on this forum to have heard on the odd tv documentary or read in astronomy magazines that space isnt "void" or a vaccuum as we used to think, but is Dark Matter.
very full space indeed. anyone can comment on that? I thought you lots were way far more informed than me (Im just watching national geographic tv docs on Sundays! ehehm.:dft001:).
(by the way that would tie in with the Ayurvedic wisdom that the 5th element other than Water Fire Earth and Air, is "space" and is as real as the other ones)
but this question of a smell is really exciting! even if it comes out that it s their fetid body or spacecraft smell. maybe it s the reaction/friction of "space" agaisnt their suit or craft...
I once saw that bit of news that planets make music. each has its own sound. they recorded one planet (cant remember the name, looked like Saturn) and it was like techno music (and you thougth like me that those ravers were unspiritual idiots, didnt you?), a vibration on top of another high pitch sound going higher and higher into an ear piercing blast. I remember the astronomers drumming their nails on their desks, being all excited, bless them.

My understanding of dark matter is that it relates to sub-atomic particles coming into existence and out of existence at any point of space-time. However, sub atomic particles in their own right do not consitute molecules of elemental matter, which would be required for the astronauts to smell them. To do that the sub-atomic particles would have to combine in substantial quantities of the same element to create molecules and thus be sufficient to be recognised by smell. Statistically the chances of sufficient molecules being instantaneously created for long enough in the correct space time, to be smelled by astronouts are infinitesimally small. The chances of that happening more than once is nigh on impossible.
