Space Oddity

[@CBTstreams]

Someone in the pub singing this on the karaoke so I pulled up this video to match to the lyrics. Chris Hadfield will be a legend always.

[@PyromemeacOfficial]

Crazy how I discovered this yesterday, along with someone else

[@spiritusinfinitus]

Imagine David Bowie sitting there on Earth and seeing this for the first time. He apparently loved it and called it one of the most poignant versions of his song. Must have been a bizarre feeling seeing a real-life astronaut, orbiting Earth singing your own lyrics you'd written decades earlier about sitting in a tin can and seeing the blue Earth below.

[@keithm.404]

He did, he commented, "Hallo Spaceboy".

[@justinklenk]

​@@whitelinentrousers That's so true. 👍 It just leaves me speechless. And I'm almost hearing it as Bowie would be hearing the realization of his own classic song... I can't imagine the poignancy.

[@yomogami4561]

honestly my preferred version with earth from orbit

[@carolinedickinson5309]

I remember laying bed when this was first released and watching with my now husband. We were just blown away. This is such beautiful work!

I love that with the load restrictions (weight and cost) on what could be sent up to space, a guitar was allowed, which then gave us this one-of-a-kind music video.

[@twn5858]

Yes because space is real and these people aren't just green screening it! These people have done a great job brainwashing the masses.

[@monkey_gamer_001]

very expensive guitar XD

[@bananiarz1972]

guitar is the most sensible charge. apart from oxygen.

[@Alex_Fossil]

This is The Video that inspired me to learn again, to do science. And although I've surrendered my dreams about the space and gone to the palaeontology, it doesn't change my gratitude to you. As well as Bowie, of course. I wander if you ever read this (the chance is low, I guess), but in case of this - thank you for this act of creativity which was (and is) so important to me!

[@andresgonzalez3424]

Space Oddity actually played in space as it was meant to be

[@craig1287]

So, is this technically the most expensive music video ever made?

[@JayG666]

Yes. It cost billions, decades and a lot of dead Astronauts.

[@garrold7123]

not really technically. Getting him into space is another story

[@squallleohnart]

Pas vraiment. On va prendre en exemple, toi. Tu dois être nettoyeur de toilettes. Alors ton patron t'envoie récurer les toilettes au pôle sud. Pendant ta pause tu fais des vidéos dans l'enfer blanc. Tu ne serais pas le premier mais tes vidéos sont excessivement rares aussi. Donc si on suit ton raisonnement elle sont chères aussi alors que tu auras filmé avec le cul des toilettes d'une station au pôle sud...

Oh Coronel, my Coronel! What you did is one of the most poetic things human kind ever did! The dream of all men, the music and poetry of one of us, the cheer collective effort to put a man floating in a tin can far above the world, and your vision to bring this masterpiece to life! This is what David dreamnt for his music, to be eternal. Thank you, Chris! You are a legend!

There's that book in which you watched Niel Armstrong set foot on the moon when you were little, and dreamed of space, “The Darkest Dark”. Well today, you're that astronaut who makes my little man dream. Great job and thank you!

[@nataliamikhailovskaya2672]

Just a pure masterpiece, love this video so much, and Bowie's music is a present for us and future generations. My favorite part is: " Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you....Here am I floating in my tin can.."

[@taun96]

Y'know, KZbin's algorithm is kinda iffy. But, man, do they recommend some amazing videos from time to time. This is definitely on the latter side. Mr Bowie would be proud! I've always imagined that if an astronaut were in space, "Starman", "Space Oddity" or "Moonage Daydream" would be playing in the background to add some levity to the situation.

[@kathymeow1950]

Never gets old❤

I'm watching this video because I bought my kids a book about space, and on one page, it explains that the universe is silent, but an astronaut recorded a clip inside the space station. And here it is! 😍

Probably the best Music Video ever made until the next astronaut lands on moon and sings “Fly Me to The Moon” with a new music video made in the Moon Base. BTW, I bought the song for a long time, still love it.

[@realdrewstory]

He did. This was originally posted quite a few years ago. Bowie stated before his death this was his favourite of all covers of his songs. When it first dropped, an exec from Bowies label tried to have it removed. Bowie flipped out on the guy, and thus, the video remained.

Good job! You really left the pounce to catch the guitar before it impacted until the last second. Obviously you guys get very good at judging that stuff. :-) I kinda gotta wonder about the guy who put that sealant on the viewing window, though, unless that was done in space. In the first case (if done on Earth), he should have been smacked up side the head. If it was done in space, he should be congratulated wholeheartedly. I don't think that window has ever been replaced (it cost a buck or two) since it was installed, but it would surprise me if it was. I wouldn't trust that damned Soyuz to take me to the grocery store, if you put it in the back of a pickup. You guys have balls, I'll give you that! I wonder if Bowie has seen this. I'll bet he got a real kick out of it if he did.
