    I have an astronaut friend and I asked him about the burned steak smell in space. He told me that’s the smell of the paint and metal of the craft being exposed to the vacuum and temperatures of space. Nothing more. Space doesn’t have a smell.

    I’m not convinced we will ever be able to live healthy without or low gravity. That’s ok for the pioneering phase, but we will have to build rotating space stations. There is no way around that.

    If we dont feel earth’s spin as we travel on earth by same speed(and our brain is accustomed to it)….shouldn’t astronauts feel a backward “tug” in space(that makes them feel they’re moving behind)?

    What we do know is that this asstronut has only been (at best) slightly higher than most aircraft fly to……We also know that no one has ever been through our Firmament and that the Moon hoax was exactly that , a total hoax by those deceptive nasholes.. What we also know is that the world is waking to the massive scams that have been played out on the masses by consecutive governments…..the worse being of course the government of America….but you scammers knew that already didn’t you…..your time is coming to an end and the only number you will need is the one that is stitched onto your prison suit.

    I think what will be imperative for long term space travel and self reliance will be Rotating Rings and such to simulate gravity at least partially in one section of a spacecraft where you could then potentially do surgery if necessary.
