Chris Hadfield releases "Space Oddity" music video from orbit
1 of 1 2 of 1
Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut aboard the International Space Station, has already proved his ability to take incredible photographs of Earth from orbit, lead sing-alongs with school children, and tweet William Shatner from space. Now the spaceman has also shown he can sing and strum his own solid, zero-gravity rendition of one of David Bowie’s greatest tunes.
Complete with footage of Hadfield and his guitar floating around the space station, this cover of "Space Oddity" marks what is believed to be the first music video recorded in space.
It even prompted a response from Bowie himself, who tweeted the link to the video after its release Sunday.
Hadfield is set to return to Earth Monday (May 13) after five months in orbit.

A solid rendition?
He's an attention whore who can't sing.
