Regardless of my personal opinion on whether or not the video should stay longer. This is the last day this video will be up on Youtube, a cover by a REAL Canadian astronaut.



Download it and save it if you wish. I find it amazing for this song to be done from actual space.

It will remain available on CBC or Global. I can't remember which news network I was watching.

"This video is private."

Could you give a synopsis?

The royalties to David Bowie were only paid for one year. Not sure why it is still available elsewhere but not youtube.

Haha, basically Chris Hadfield (a Canadian astronaut) made a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" song, filming the cover song from on board the International Space Station.

I downloaded the video and there are bound to be clones popping up.

^ Short clip from the full roughly 5 min cover.

Any other questions? I'm sure I can find the full version for ya if you're interested in seeing the whole thing.

Yeah, it would be cool to see the whole thing, if you come across it.

I watched the 90-second clip, and was surprised how good it was. The guy can actually sing, and the Earth-views are really cool graphically.

His son had a big hand in it actually. I read his book. Worth reading.

Haha, I'm hoping whenever they do the Mars mission, videos will be sent back, it'd be amazing to see clear ground footage of the place where a human can video tape the entire thing.

Also Duk, I found the full version :D trust in the internet and people on it!
