Four years ago, NASA hired a “scent consultant” to develop a smell that could be used to train astronauts on what to expect when they finally get to outer space.
And now, we finally know the answer to WHAT SPACE SMELLS LIKE.

Who would be crazy enough to sign up for a one-way ticket to Mars, knowing that they will never come back to Earth, and that they WILL die on this mission?
Apparently over 1000 people have volunteered to DIE on a proposed Mission to Mars.
Have you ever had the opportunity to see a real-for-real solar eclipse?
If so, be ready to experience that again. If not, now’s your chance to start planning ahead so you’re ready for the Event of Your Lifetime!
There’s a lot of money in asteroids.
The problem, as Bruce Willis showed us, is getting the money out of them.

Well, lucky for us, National Geographic has been able to go “behind the scenes” for us to get this video of exactly what the astronauts do to train how to use the anti-gravity space toilet.
There are some people who say that women shouldn’t be astronauts.
It really doesn’t matter who those idiots are, because we have people like Dr William Rowe, and his website FEMALES IN SPACE, which offers many scientific and medical reasons why women are superior astronaut material.
