An excerpt from:

Space Sights and Smells Surprise Rookie Astronauts

SPACE.com – Sat Sep 5, 2:47 am ET

WASHINGTON - For rookie astronauts flying aboard the International Space Station, the food is good, the rocket thrusters are loud and there's an odd tang in the air - apparently from outer space.

"It's a very, very different environment than I expected," Discovery shuttle pilot Kevin Ford, a first-time spaceflyer, said from orbit late Friday.

One of things Ford wasn't ready for is the weird smell.

"From the [spacewalks] there really is a distinct smell of space when they come back in," Ford said from the station in a Friday night news conference. "It's like...something I haven't ever smelled before, but I'll never forget it. You know how those things stick with you."

In the past, astronauts have described the smell of space as something akin to gunpowder or ozone.

I always dreamed of practicing law with a good firm in a small town in North Carolina. I wanted to be able to help people in my community.

I guess the only part of my dream that hasn't come true is that I'd dreamed that my small town practice would be located in Wilmington.

Doesn't sound like stable employment. Sounds like you'd be bouncing from job to job. :)) =))

I'm bummed though because I thought my Google ad said GTHC at the end of it. Maybe it was just the facebook ad.

I'm gonna go soak in the bathtub with beer, and recover from the road trip. Then I gotta start cleaning my brewmaking equipment, I have a brown ale to make tomorrow. I love long weekends!

Most of us would soak in the bathtub with water. You have quite the privilege of soaking in your bathtub with beer :roll: . Ahh, the advantages of home-brewing. :)) =))

It looks like the ad is getting lotta play there, it's been up many times while browsing today. While it's still funny as hell, I'm also enjoying seeing my money well spent. (Very, very little money mind you, it's surprising I've seen it up this long and during the day)
