From popular science:
“Louis Allamandola, director of the Astrophysics and Astrochemistry Lab at NASA's Ames Research Center, told Popular Science that this smell is due to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons floating around in space.
These hydrocarbons can be found in "tobacco smoke, car exhaust, and sometimes in heavily browned foods," here on Earth, according to chemist Kevin Boudreaux from Angelo State University.”
Edit: I just read some more about it and an alternate explanation is that the random elements floating in space are reacting to the oxygen pumped into the airlock. They are oxidizing quickly and therefore smell like burned metal.

It smells like burned metal. According to astronauts. And before you ask: they can smell it in the airlock after a space walk.

That guy does look like him though. But as a kid I was blown away that Pee Wee Herman was the ships voice. Kinda suspected it when it was talking normal in the beginning but giddy afterwards.

Always a good idea. u/riegspsych325 below says it right. It has it all.

Never Ending Story. Falcor flying, the rock biter and the princess were magical and grabbed me.
Edit: Oh wait. Where are you? Spoiler: (I don’t know how to do that black bar spoiler thing)Would you be offended by statues with boobs? Or a character dying in a very heartbreaking way?

Pulp Fiction. That was my first QT movie and didn’t get it at all. Had no idea what was going on. Watched it again about a year after it came out and it clicked and changed my world view.
