- bregma 7y agoI know someone with experience on the ISS. Said it smelled like a gym changeroom and hot electronics. I guess kinda like my bedroom.
- gnrlst 7y agoThat is a pretty terrible combination, especially considering you're stuck there for days/weeks at a time. Hopefully you get used to it after a couple hours.
