The chances that anyone here hasn't seen it are almost zero, but just in case, if you haven't seen Chris Hadfield's cover of Space Oddity, recorded on the ISS, you really should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo

I don't have a source but I heard that David preferred this version to the original.

"Bowie has actually praised the cover, calling it 'possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created' back in 2013."

Oh, good to know that's available again. At some point it was pulled for copyright reasons.

I heard that they arranged a deal for a 1 year lease, and after that year had to take it down. I didn't know that it was back either, that's great news.

Seems that this time it's a two year lease, so it's still not going to be available permanently.
