Wow this thread exploded while I was at work! I think he really was smelling space air SixCee, because the way they let them in would also let a lot of space air in. It's not a COMPLETE vacuum, so it's definitely going to fill up the area before they shut the first door. Then they seal the first door, open up the second, and all the space air comes inside (provided they don't turn the room into a vacuum first).

space air?? hahaha
Space has hardly any matter at all in it. Far too little for us to detect with our noses. It is a near complete vacuum on the largest scales possible. SPACE does not smell like anything. To smell something you have to have particles entering your olfactory organ in significant quantities. We can't even smell a lot of things here on Earth, let alone in space. There are so many other reasonable explanations that are not even being considered.
NewbieShroomie where did you get that quote? There is no source listed.

Wouldn't he be smelling particles and matter in space and not space itself? I'm confused.

Yeah, I saw that. And I'm wondering where you pulled the quote from.

Gamma rays and x-rays are light.
No, they're waves/particles of energy.
Yeah I'm talking out of my ass. I never understood how something can be both a wave and a particle.

I've brought this question up to some friends; Do you think anyone has ever been high in space? You think they have let them take brownies up to test the effects?

One theory is that there is exactly 0 energy in the universe.
Some speculate that the universe began because of a 'quantum blip', where something can 'teleport' to another place providing it does not loose or gain any energy (i.e total energy = 0). (obviously this is disgustingly gross over simplifictation)
Now all of the positive energy in the universe (which is pretty much inifinte) is cancelled out by the negative gravitational potential energy, which allows the quantum blip to occur.
All the math works as well

i bet they get some kind of anxiety drug, just incase they bug out or something.
i doubt they have time or means to get 'high' off something. but i'm no expert.
