Space smells like steak

Astronauts returning from spacewalks have noticed a distinctive smell of fried steak on their space suits when they take them off.

Wow ! Who knew?!"
(OK, some of us carnivores did.)

Turns out, the cosmos is not vegan.
(I always knew those didn't belong here with the rest of us, now there is proof positive.)
NASA: “When astronauts were de-suiting and taking off helmets, they all reported quite particular odors.

“We have already produced the smell of fried steak, but hot metal is more difficult.

“We think it’s a high energy vibration in the molecule and that’s what we’re trying to add to it now.”
