Post by Eraser »

Commander Chris Hadfield recording and performing David Bowie's "Space Oddity" aboard the ISS. No better place than that to play this song :)

I was so relieved to find that it's actually a pretty good performance. I was afraid he'd have some awful redneck singing voice and no style, but he pulls it off.

Goddamn attention whore.
Go find a cure for cancer in these unique circumstances, instead of fucking about on my dime.

His singing ability is on par with Bowie. Cool video.

That is the shit, lucky bastard.

I had not realised how big that thing is either, enough room to swing a cat.

For my last day on the ISS, I'd have jizzed all over the place. Every surface, every control panel, every switch. Everywhere.

I read that and thought, do cats in space, when they all, land on their feet :question: :confused:

Technically speaking though, you're continually falling while aboard the ISS, so you don't ever actually land :)

Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
