The smell of space
I heard an on orbit interview on this from some spacewalkers just in from a
eva a while ago. They seemed to say it smelt like hot things smell and there was a hint of that smell you get from ionised air. However one assumes the 'smell' being described is in fact the smell given off by the space suits when they are pulled back in after being outside. How can you have a smell when there is no atmosphere.

The title is a bit misleading. I mean after all, as you say, not only can't you have a smell without an atmosphere, you won't last long not smelling the lack of atmosphere. ;-) I heard an on orbit interview on this from some spacewalkers just in from a eva a while ago.
