A revised version of David Bowie’s Space Oddity, recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station has been receiving quite a lot of attention over the last couple of days.
As a Bowie fan from way back I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy Hadfield’s version but it’s quite captivating. You can watch the video below.
A handful of words have been changed but it’s a fitting farewell from the commander as he leaves the International Space Station. It’s even received approval from David Bowie himself. On Bowie’s official Facebook page he says, “It’s possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created.”
