I can´t believe that noone has posted about this yet, but here we go:

Space Oddity - YouTube

 

[Apollo]

Yeah just saw it last night.

Bowie was probably thrilled!!

 

[SmilingOtter]

It got posted in the "funny/cool pictures" thread in OT.

 

[Hogosha]

That gave me chills....................special effects..................ZERO!

 

[SSgt Burton]

I saw bits of it on the news last night, however DFN's link was my first time watching it in its entirety.

That was so incredibly awesome it gave me goosebumps... and at the risk of sounding like a complete sap, I actually got a little misty eyed near the end.

AWESOME. But...

We know Major Tom's a junkie.

I wonder if someone else up there will cover Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (Coming Home)?"

I can promise that if my dreams of becoming an astronaut ever come true, I'll do it.

The takeaway I get from this video is...






JJ Abrams is absolutely right. There really is a ton of lens flare in space.

Chris Hadfield: the best ambassador Canada has ever had.

I posted the link on my Facebook page shortly after it was passed on thru David Bowie's page, and there were just over 5000 views. Two days later views are over 9 million!

I had the opportunity to meet Chris a number of years ago after his first mission. He was at the Comox airshow, he even flew up in his NASA trainer jet. It was an absolute blast following this mission.

yeah at first i thought jj abrams directed that video

well, now i cant put the hate on him for too much lens flares anymore :/

At least the lens flares in this were real lol. This guy has single handedly got kids interested in space again by doing question sessions live. if nasa did this more maybe we'd have a ton of engineers like in the 60s with the apollo era instead of everyone wanting to be a rapper.

 

[Laspector]

That was totally cool!!

 

[Wes R]

We need to put him in charge of NASA,maybe people will start caring again.
