Houston, We Have An Odor Problem

According to this news article http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/090326-sts119-space-smell.html, space “smells funny.”

Astronauts on both the shuttle and international space station have reported smelling this space funk which reminds them of ozone, or perhaps a Hot Pocket cooked too long in the microwave.

Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick was such a stickler for realism when he made 2001: A Space Odyssey, consulting with such companies as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Well, it looks like he should also have touched base with Febreze and Air Wick, too.
