Solution: defeat the olfactory organs using special nasal implants.
This solves the bad smell problem, but also allows the space colonists
to satisfy themselves (sort of) with the same food all the time, since
all food would taste about the same anyway. This solution would
also extend human lives in the here and now, since taking away
the sense of smell/taste would encourage one to eat less. spike
