Vegetarians: Avoid Space Travel

Why? Well, apparently outer space reeks of steak. Says the UK Sun:

Astronauts reported the bizarre scents on their suits when they returned from space walks. The space agency has commissioned Steven Pearce of British fragrance firm Omega Ingredients to recreate the smells to help train spacemen. He said: “When astronauts were de-suiting and taking off helmets, they all reported quite particular odours. “We think it’s a high energy vibration in the molecule and that’s what we’re trying to add to it now.”

I always heard that Space smelled like a burnt cookie.
