Glover, who was part of the first operational crew mission to the ISS on board SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft in November 2020, gave Cruise several pointers as to what to expect. Cruise partnered with SpaceX in 2020 to film what could soon become one of the first action movies filmed in space.
During an interview for the NASA podcast “The Body in Space” — originally recorded in November, but published Friday — Glover didn’t beat around the bush.
“When you first get to space station is when you notice the smell the strongest because you kind of get saturated and you get used to it after, but it was an interesting combination...
“When you go into the module that has the lifting, the strength training equipment, that’s also where the bathroom is. So, that’s the most odoriferous module.”
“That one smells like a locker room,” he said, also likening the overall odor of the station to the smell at a hospital.
Glover also recalled what it was like riding a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
“It is such a high-performing liquid rocket,” he said. “It’s smooth, but it really leapt off the pad. And we got to the 100-kilometer point, and we were all smiles. It was just so amazing.”

**except for maybe a dead skunk.**
Every time I see buzzards feasting on a fresh roadkill skunk or a rotting armadillo I have to marvel at their amazing tolerance. After all, they have a great sense of smell, finding dead critters in heavy foliage by the scent.
I’ll bet the Zeta Rectumulans don’t smell too good themselves.
Maybe he can do some air freshener commercials while he’s up there.
Worst smell I’ve ever encountered was a chicken manure dehydrating plant. It is the only smell that ever made me vomit.
