To Samuel Coniglio:  What references do you have about taste and smell being "different" in 0-G?  I'm skeptical about the 'blood circulation' comments you make.  I doubt our senses of taste and smell function differently in 0-G.  I've never read of any astronauts making such a comment.  At best, it would seem to be a contextual difference, not a physiological one.  --Jon Alexandr
