Space Sights and Smells Surprise Rookie Astronauts

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.
The sounds of spaceflight have also been surprising, especially when Discovery fires up its large maneuvering thrusters, Ford said.
"It definitely gives the shuttle a kick and you just feel a little twang throughout the whole orbiter when they're firing to keep you in position," he added.
Of the 13 astronauts aboard the International Space Station and docked shuttle, nearly half are taking their first trip to space. For some, it's a short trip aboard the shuttle, which blasted off last week with three rookies aboard.
Other first-time spaceflyers are on the station for the long haul. Some have already been there for months, so the term "rookie" barely applies.
"The food is wonderful," said rookie astronaut Nicole Stott, who arrived at the station Sunday on Discovery to begin a three-month stay. "Of course we have a mix from all the partners now."
The result, she said, is a sort of orbital smorgasbord that includes food from the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe.
"I think you can find something for everyone," Stott said.
Discovery's seven-astronaut crew is in the middle of a 13-day mission to deliver fresh supplies and new science gear to the space station. The astronauts ferried Stott to the outpost to replace another NASA astronaut who will come home on the shuttle.
They also delivered a $5 million treadmill named after comedian Stephen Colbert.
Even some of Discovery's grizzled veterans were surprised by the life aboard the station, which is the $100 billion product of 16 different countries.
"It's really awesome to see all the work that's been achieved up here since our last flight," said Discovery commander Rick Sturckow, who is making his fourth flight to the station. "They've added a new solar array and some new modules. The station is something that all the international partners can be very proud of for their contributions."

Hello Steph,
What makes you "the Elma girl"?
I watched many of your videos with great interest, to try to get to know and understand you.
I had watched Henning's videos, and really enjoyed them, but I was not aware that you also had a channel til I saw the "Weird Happenings today" video.
I have had paranormal experiences all my life, including alien abduction, and been a Christian as well, so I hope my perspective of 60 years life experience will be helpful to you.
I have many thoughts concerning what I have seen in your videos.
I suspect you are living in an area where paranormal events occur with relative ease; possibly along a ley line. If that is the case, your life will be full of paranormal experiences which you should not "take personally". If, for example, the chemtrailers drew a pentagram over your property, they obviously know that the area is conducive to magic. Things like invisible flocks of geese, ghosts, UFOs, bigfoot, etc. are likely to be occurring by virtue of where you are, as it allows for a "fourth dimensional" presense, so I would advise you to: a) not live in fear, and b) not be too quick to ascribe negative interpretations to things happening around you. After all, the dream you had of Jesus' second coming should be assuring to you that He knows of you, and is looking out for you!
Be careful, therefore, about saying, for example, that the invisible geese are a "bad omen", or that a disembodied voice that interfered with your video recording is "a demon", as it may not be, strictly speaking. You might not like those things, but try to see them from their point of view. Did you notice that the interference in the family curse video started when you started talking about your mother? 'Someone' may be trying to protect her, in some way,
When I was in boarding school when I was 14 I heard "ghost geese", which is pretty close to what you experienced. It was at 4:30 in the morning, and I was "told" to stay put, so I did. I also had a similar experience when two triangular UFOs were flying over about 11 years ago. I was "told" to stay absolutely still, but I knew what was happening.
Your dream of the Chinese submarine firing the missile off California was right on target! It was in the news right after you made the video about having that dream. Congratulations!
As for the "bruise", it looks as if trianglein the video. You may have been aboard an alien craft, and I don't mean that as a joke. You may not remember it, but such "bruises" are fairly common among alien abductees. Don't panic. Have no fear.
As for the dolls that may have been cursed, get rid of them! Don't keep them on the property and try to sell them to some unsuspecting victim! If they are cursed, you don't want them around, period. If Lorraine Warren is still alive, I know that she and her husband kept a "haunted doll" museum in Connecticut, but it wasn't for fun. It was to keep them out of the public, because they were dangerous to have around.
There was a haunted house in my town where a doll hovered over the couple in bed at night.
The woman finally threw it into an incinerator, and it screamed! Apparently there is some form of black magic that allows for the souls of people to be attached to dolls. I am not an expert in these things, but you 'd best accept that you may have to take a financial loss in getting rid of the dolls.
I had been wondering about all the strange stuff in Henning's chemtrail video: Planet X, the Blue and the Red Kachina, and so on, wondering if they showed up in chemtrails why they weren't visible when the sky was blue, but if the chemtrails act as a screen to show "future events" in some way, like a crystal ball, then perhaps that is what is happening.
And I just saw Henning's video about the stars being out of place, and the Earth wobbling, and he's right, they're out of place here in Pennsylvania as well.
I wish you all the best. You both are young, and I advice you to try to see things as if you weren't personally involved when the weirdness happens. Stay aloof mentally. Have no fear.
Ask Michael the Archangel to remove any curses, if there are any, on you. He's good at that. Ask, and consider it done.
As for Homeland Security, they're the real demons. Get a lawyer to help you. Please.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
All my best to you and yours,
Hello again Steph,
After I sent you the recent message I remembered that I had also, recently, had an experience like yours with the invisible geese,
but at the time I just figured I had just not looked in the right direction to see them.
It was about a month and a half ago, and I heard geese, which sounded as if they were flying nearby, but not quite directly overhead.
I looked all over the place, and saw nothing, but just decided I must have poorer eyesight than I thought, or had not located their position.
It was not scary; nothing like whatever happened when I was 14 and heard the "ghost geese" flying right over the roof of our dorm.
Anyway, I figure it's kind of a nod and a wink from something or somebody.
Whoever/whatever was making the geese invisible probably knew that people would look up when they heard the geese, and wonder, "Where are they?"
It may have been done deliberately to start people thinking about the reasons for the geese being invisible was, but not necessarily to frighten people.
Perhaps it was done by some sort of "cosmic jokers", as "the jinn" are sometimes called if you are a Muslim. (I'm not, btw. The jinn seem to
be the greys, but that may not be a fair definition of them.)
However I am more inclined to think that the message being sent is: "If geese can be made invisible, so can you." I think this actually may be intended to be a good message, so that if, say, a police state develops where Big Brother is coming to haul you away, you may be afforded invisibility by the angels to spare your life, or some such thing.
I am reminded of something that happened here in Pennsylvania summer before last.
We had two weeks of temperatures in the nineties. I had been faithfully putting fresh water in the bird baths 3 and even 4 times a day to keep up with the demand.
Suddenly the birds just disappeared for ten days. There was no way to account for their absence; they were just gone.
Then, no sooner had the temperatures gone back down to the eighties when they all just re-appeared as if nothing at all had happened.
I don't know what the explanation for how it was done is, but I think that someone/something took them in to shelter them from the inhospitible conditions.
Perhaps you and I can expect as much for ourselves if the need arises.
