May 12, 2013 -After the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield records the David Bowie song Space Oddity on board the International Space Station, his sublime rendition is posted to YouTube, quickly garnering millions of views.
Commander Hadfield said that he had made the video for a number of reasons, but “maybe most importantly, it was a chance to let people see where we truly are in space exploration”. David Bowie himself posted on Facebook to say that the cover of his 1969 song was “possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created”.
