There’s been a lot of attention  in the past few days about a new fragrance that simulates the smell of outerspace.

If you haven’t heard about this let me catch you up.  A chemist has launched a kickstarter campaign to market a perfume for men?  women?  I don’t know.  It simulates the smell of space.

The product is called Eau de Space.  Created for NASA a   decade ago so astronauts in training could acclimate to the smell… before they slip the surly bonds of earth.

But space shouldn’t smell like anything…  Cause it’s an endless void.. except its not.

Greg Chamitoff … speaking from the International Space Station. 

This kid knows what it is.  He has a youtube channel… so he’s an expert.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield…

Burnt steak and walnuts.  With an occasional wisp of dirty clothes.  So who’d want to wear this fragrance.  Nobody.. we’re not supposed to be able to smell each other these days.  The creator envisions Eau De Space as a learning tool for K-12 science classes.

By the way… this song is Astronaut Chris Hadfield… who performed it while aboard the  internetional space station

He’d be the coolest guy on earth.  But he’s not on earth.  He’s was up there.  Where it smells.  And the kickstarter to bring the smell to your nose… has now raised $40,000.
