  1. NOW, space can have a smell ... by timothy · · Score: 1

    A good smell.

    Lots of people, noses already firmly lifted into space, would haughtily say that Starbucks coffee smells like the aftermath of welding, but those people have no sense of perspective. And this coffee isn't even from Starbucks! My opinion, you have to work pretty hard to make the smell of coffee cooking unpleasant.
