Soon you’ll be able to spritz NASA’s top-secret blend of raspberries, hot metal, and meat

Thanks to a new NASA-designed fragrance that’s aptly named Eau de Space, we’ll soon be able to sniff space’s vastness in a futile attempt to temporarily escape the realities of Earth.
CNN reports that the fragrance was developed by chemist Steve Pearce, who was contracted by NASA back in 2008 to re-create space’s scent — not for some sick NASA merch, but to prepare astronauts training on Earth for any potential surprises they might experience once in space, like moon-pooping perhaps.
So what does space actually smell like? The most common notes cited by astronauts who’ve been able to sniff it often include “seared steak,” “hot metal,” and “welding fumes.” While on the International Space Station, astronaut Peggy Whitson told CNN it’s “a bitter kind of smell in addition to being smoky and burned,” “kind of like a smell from a gun, right after you fire the shot.

I’m the paternal figure who keeps his subordinates in a stupor of exhaustion and confusion in order to make them particularly malleable to his twisted whims. Alice Fendelman is our parallel to Squeaky Fromme, who uses the pretense of taking care of the family members to ensure no one acts against the family interests—naturally, she’s our HR director.
