Fart in a Spacesuit?

 In Space no-one can hear you Fart.

If you fart in a spacesuit, where does it go? Nowhere, it just lingers. Trapped in the suit. Bummer. Not good given that in a few years most humble couch potatoes will be up there at some point. Now, if your suit had a heat activated sensor (or a movement activated one connected directly to your sphincter) any motion would trigger the release of a fragrance of the astronaut's choice. Lavender, Sandalwood and so on, thus countering the whiff and ensuring a pleasurable time. As an added bonus, the sensor could record the emission and play it back to fellow Space Tourists during times of boredom. : D

       The spacesuits do have atmospheric cleansers, so this is rather pointless.

       That's going to be nothing compared to the prevalent smell of really stale air that exists on all space-stations. That, together with the constant feeling of falling and the effects on your stomach means that flatulent smells will be one of the last things on your mind.
