I thought this was stunning footage and the version is better than the original. (Although not everyone will agree)

First ever music video from space.

Very good, but for me Bowie will always have the edge on this song.

Very cool. I love the images flying over the cities at night.

Yes indeed! I could overcome my claustrophobia for a trip to space. I need to stop buying trains and start saving up my 130,000 for a ticket to fly with Sir Richard. :-[

Hi,
I well remember, and it's still my all time favourite live - honest, it really was ;) - performance:
I Was Strolling on the Moon One Day (Apollo 17) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKXCiPiVGmg#)
Beats Space Oddity on distance alone...
I also remember a duet of sorts from the ISS during U2's 2011 Glasto appearance, which was nice :D
U2 - Beautiful Day - Glastonbury 2011 [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLX94r2ErN8#ws)
Then there was the Curiosity/Will.i.am Mars transmission, perhaps that one is best left alone.
So perhaps "in space no one can hear you scream" - 'cos of all the music going on 8)

Regards, Gerry.

Just wondering of Sarah Brightman wants a companion, when she does her "space flight". I would be happy to be her Starship Trooper (one for the older record buyer!!!).

Think i'll just stick to The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst.

Neat but that song always makes me think of the Barron Knights

Birth Control To Ginger Tom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhkZjsTT6G0#)
