THE most amazing rendition of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'
Performed by Commander Chris Hadfield of the ISS

That is indeed very cool, lovely video.   The backdrop kinda helps though, but still a great opportunity grabbed with both hands!

Must qualify for the most expensive music video ever.

I was really hoping for someone in an EVA suit to pop up outside with a squeegee in the viewing pod.

It's incredible and amazing that we can do this, my grandfather was born into a world before we had even mastered flight but I get to watch this on You Tube.

I've followed Commander Hadfield on You Tube and Twitter while he's been living on the ISS. He's  been an amazing ambassador for Science and should get some sort of award.

I'll second that Smilo.
I've been following as well.
Some of the photos he's posted have been incredible.

His demonstration of water being squeezed from a cloth in zero g was mind blowing :yahoo:
