Who let one rip?
— European astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti recalled the very specific smell she encountered once boarding the International Space Station.
on board the ISS between November 2014 and June 2015. She was more recently sent to the station back in April on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft for a second stint.Fortunately, the space station's stink didn't persist over time. For instance, "if you're close to a lot of trash," Cristoforetti recalled, pointing out that the station recently sent a Cygnus spacecraft full of crash to burn up in the atmosphere.Then there are "big blue bags" that holds the crew's solid toilet waste, which can "of course be a little bit smelly as well," according to the astronaut.
