Michael Aslanian I think it is about an American astronaut on a mission to space. He does a space walk. At some point things go sideways and he is lost to space. And he is aware until he runs out of oxygen and or water, food that he is not coming back to Earth. So many days/weeks he is going to slowly die in space. So then he takes a bunch of heroin he snuck aboard to calm his nerves.

BOWIE

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." - David Bowie

David Bowie was a genius artist. A true original and there will never be anyone like him.

YES! Finally, DAVID BOWIE! 💫⚡️ David Bowie was a true legend of many things! Look him up. When he passed in 2016 I cried like I had lost a close friend. He was so celebrated that NASA named a constellation after him the day he passed. Also Tesla launched a car into space that plays David Bowie. He was a man of many talents . Even saying that is an understatement.

@@jacktilghman9797 Here is what actually happened to one of Bowie's eyes:: In the spring of 1962, Bowie would walk into a confrontation that would change his life forever when his childhood friend, George Underwood, would be the reason why the future musician would end up having two completely different coloured eyes. Underwood, who went to school with Bowie, later revealed that the two had an argument over a girl which resulted in a playground fight. With both Underwood and Bowie liking the same girl, the two had a “short-lived falling out” which turned physical. The fight resulted in Bowie suffering a Heterochromia, a condition which resulted in the right eye turning blue in appearance while a left one remained a darker shade of brown,due to suffering “a deep corneal abrasion and paralysis of the iris muscle.”

I love Bowie's music, been listening to him for over 45 years. He frequently changed his sound, always evolving musically. He's a huge influence on other artists.

This is the original and nothing compares to it, you should do more Bowie ;)

I love David Bowie. RIP

RIP! I so glad I got to see David Bowie in person! Great music! He did many things ahead of time. Love Bowie.

Bowie the best for many decades.... what a amazing career ( R.I.P ) God bless and thank you for so many years of unbelievable music ! 😎🎙 My favorite Bowie album... "DAVID LIVE"

David makes both voices.... Amazing artist. "THE man WHO sold THE world". "Young Americans", " Sound and vision"!!

I guess I don't need s!eep! Back to the binge 👍👍♿♿🙏😎👍👍love this song!! Bowie was a genius!!👍👍👍 another great reaction video!👍👍👍

This song cane out just before the first landing on the moon, giving it a boost it might not received had it not been for the phenomenal timing. Either way it is a brilliant example of Bowie's genius. I was in the first grade. We moved to LA the following year when Bowie exploded onto the scene. His music was a big part of my childhood, and it saddened me greatly when he passed.

Bowie was a genius and one of the bravest artists. Keep exploring, his sound changed repeatedly over the years and he was a good actor as well. Love it

David Bowie's alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Loved whatever persona Bowie wore, an original. RIP

Bowie was such an enigma always listen to the first recording before making a choice 😊😊😊😊😊

Chris is a station commander on the international space station. He obviously filmed the video on the station, hence the technology

that smile you put on when the chorus hit. just awesome. you've got a new subscriber. i've seen a lot of reaction vids from different people but yours look very genuine. keep up the good work!

this was my fav singer singing my fav song growing up, enjoyed singing what a young person would react to him as he wasw a performance artist before thqat was a thing

There is so much David Bowie that is excellent grazie ciao

It never ceases to amaze me how freaking brave astronauts have to be.

You made me cry. David Bowie is the only famous person I've cried over dying. When you gave the little smile when the music started going it was so nice to see somebody enjoying him for the first time.

The Beatles were the game changers in the sixties, Bowie was the same for the 70's.

Moonage Daydream was the1971 song that epitomizes that era.

David Bowie went through so many "changes" in his career... reinventing himself over and over many decades... for sure one of the greatest musicians EVER ! My favorite album... DAVID LIVE ... nothing beats a great live album ! There is only one good version of this song.... Bowie 😎 ( R.I.P ) & Thank you for many decades of great music David !

LOve the song by heart, and realy enjoyed watching you appriciate it.

"Wow, wow, wow!!" You nailed it!

David was an extraordinary performer with a huge music longevity. He essentially reinvented himself every few to five years or so and managed to rack up respect and recognition with new fans as well as hits with each new generation.

So happy to see someone like Bowie on a reaction.

Major Tom was a character who showed up in a lot of songs. Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" Peter Schilling, "Major Tom (Coming Home)" KIA, "Mrs. Major Tom" The Tea Party, "Empty Glass"

What an amazing song for its time !

In England mostly, Heroin is also called "Major Tom". That was the whole concept of the Three songs Bowie did.

David Bowie had so many styles!

From the 60s onwards I was a fan of David Bowie and his uniqueness in every way .

2013...was a guy astronaught from the space station...and was awsome....bowie 1st stepes into space...2nd from space...awsome!!!

Literally a lifelong fan (born in '68), I never had a life event or memory that wasn't framed by his music. This played on the local AM radio as I was with my mother taking me out to McDonald's when she picked me up on my first day of school. As a teen in the 80's I owned a pair of red shoes (because of "Lets Dance). As a mother in my 20's and 30's I introduced my children to him early on. In my 40's I kept Station to Station, Aladdin Sane and The Lodger in my music rotation...and he died the year before I turned 50. I still weep whenever I hear his songs these few years later. If you want to know what happened to Major Tom, he reveals the major's fate in Blackstar. He knew he was dying and he gave closure to that beloved character as a final gift to his fans.

He’s so magical

This is one of my favorite tunes. This was a video set to the studio version, which was multi-tracked with Bowie's voice. I never realized until just the other day Rick Wakeman, the great Yes keyboardist, played the Mellotron on this gem!

I love this song . You feel like you are on the space mission without an elaborate video.

Some say that this song and "Ashes to Ashes" are about the trajectory that a drug addict goes through.

I love Bowie so much. Probably why this video came up. Do his other songs like Starman, Life on Mars, Hero’s, changes, ashes to ashes, let’s dance etc. Also there is another Space Oddity Video released like a few days ago for the 50 year anniversary and it’s a bit different to the original. Cool video and an amazing artist.

Luther Vandross got his start as a back up singer with David Bowie. This man is a genius....RIP David

Great reaction! Fun fact: Our sun is a white star. Most people think it is yellow. That is just due to the earths atmosphere. If you were in space, it would look white. It would look very different that day. That’s why the moon is white, it’s just reflecting the suns white shine, without an atmosphere.

He was and is still one of my heroes

I listen to Bowie when I want escape the world for awhile. But I was introduced to him when I was kid through Labyrinth.

Miss India, how do you do? I've always loved this song - but it makes me feel really small. There's a big universe out there and it's so easy for something to go wrong. We're lucky we've gotten as far as we have.

He imagined how a pilot would feel as an astronaut: out of control. That was a brilliant deduction. That's how the astronauts described it later...they were fighter pilots, but this thing was floating (or not) mostly beyond their control.. Before even this version, he did a folk-music sounding one...the first one That was super throwback.

Sweet Bowie. I miss him!

David Bowie & Queen are my favorites. ❤️ You should do the sequel Ashes to Ashes. Bowie has done over 30 albums, so he has a large catalog. Changes, Jean Genie, Fame. 👍🔥

This was from his movie, 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'. He went through this Alien phase.

Life on Mars, Ziggh Stardust, Fame! Stuck on " Heroes", Producer legend, Brian Eno ( Roxy music), Said: Let's Call Fripp ( Former King Crimson). Said he is a teacher now, but if you dare.,.! Will give it a try. He played and composed THE guitar parts!

FANTASTIC stuff hey india😊

Chris Hatfield is a real astronaut He sand the song from space. . It was an homage to Bowie.It was really cool.

Bowie is the greatest of all time. If you doubt that listen to him in his death bed .. genius

Awesome song

I miss you David

Love Bowie and he was married to his wife fashion model Iman for 24 years before his death

Bowie was a perfectionist and you can see that in his music. He didn't just push out stuff to please the record labels. RIP David.

His later song, Ashes To Ashes had a reference to this with the line "My mama says, to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom.." As for the new / tribute 2013 version, the video has the advantage being first ever done in the real space station ISS. The lyrics have also been altered with references to existing technology such as Soyuz space capsule hatch. Also the mission ends safely. :)

All right Major Tom is reference in David Bowie songs space oddity, ashes to ashes, hallo spaceboy, new killer star, black star. And finally a German singer. Peter schilling continued that and finished this story under Major Tom. it was an 80s song. Of course Elton John rocket Man was that reference as well

David Bowie is one of the greatest musicians ever. You need to check out "The Man who sold the World" live on "Saturday Night Live".

Notice Bowie is using his head voice here. His early work was all in head voice, like he hadn't discovered how beautiful his throat, or deep chest voice was. This is the version I love.

Bowie...... genius.

You cannot beat the original. Bowie is, was, a LEGEND!
