OUTER SPACE smells the same as a motorcycle frame being welded, that's the claim made by NASA experts.
Astronauts have reported the metallic smell and likened it to being in a motorcycle repair shop after space walks for the space agency.
Now, NASA has asked British fragrance company Omega Ingredients to make the smells here on earth to help train upcoming astronauts.
The smells could take up to a year to make for the next batch of space walkers.
Bit worrying though, isn't it? We reckon either matey's suit's got a leak or there's something drastically wrong with the Shuttle again.
Good luck, space lads!
