An International Space Station astronaut has recorded what is believed to be the first ever music video shot in space - and it features a performance of David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’!
Days before he’s due to return to earth, spaceman Chris Hadfield decided to make the most of his time left following a five month interstellar stay on the ISS, and recorded himself playing Bowie’s award-winning hit ‘Space Oddity’.
As with most things space-related, the video is cool as hell, and has been doing rounds on the net ever since it was posted yesterday. It’s received over half a million views on YouTube, and has been hailed as one of the ‘coolest things this year’ - and even ‘one of the coolest things any human being has ever done’.
The video has done wonders for Hadfield’s social media profile, too - he’s just hit 800,000 Twitter followers, and the number continues to rise every day. Check out his ‘Space Oddity’ tweet below.
