Last Chance for Space Oddity (you know, Ground Control to Major Tom) in space
2Even though I heard about it constantly, somehow I'd never actually sat through the whole Bowie video shot in space last year. I just watched it today, on what's apparently the last day the video will be available:

Even after it's gone, we'll still have this.
Who will be the first to sing that in space?
That gave me goosebumps. In spite of the mustache.
On a more serious note, as I've said before I absolutely love space and this video completely blows my mind. I feel like it's easy to not completely comprehend and understand that this entire video was ACTUALLY SHOT IN OUTER SPACE. The shots of him in the cupola with the Earth in the background aren't special effects..that's the actual planet that we're all on right now. Humbling and mind-bending.
It does have that "this is really space" feeling of not being too Hollywooded up.
I still can't believe they allowed him to bring a functional guitar up there.
Why are they not leaving it up?
I like to watch it now and again.
Hey techies - any way to save it on my computer or elsewhere ?

Apparently it is a copyright issue w/ Bowie. Come on Mr. Bowie. Please give this one performance to NASA and the world. Sigh. I'm bummed that it comes down to that.
I am still all up for a pirate thing.
If history has taught us anything, it's that nothing is really ever deleted from the internet. I'm sure it'll be floating around out there.
They should of sold copies. Could of made $$$ for NASA. oh and for Mr. Bowie of course.
If you don't mind a bunch of extra logos on there:
Thank you . I feel much better now. ETA: Not to be picky, but it is lacking the stellar clarity original video. Beggars can't be choosers.
