Commander Hadfield's Iconic Zero-G Rendition of "Space Oddity"

 I am very happy to be able to watch and listen again to this exceptional performance of a song recorded in International Space Station (ISS) where Canadian Astronaut, Commander Hadfield was based. The video was uploaded in May 2013 and was taken off till the new agreement recently made to keep it in cyberspace for the next two years.

This famous space song "Space Oddity" was first performed by celebrity singer/composer, David Bowie in 1969. Commander Hadfield recorded it as a farewell gesture before departing from ISS .He was in ISS from December 2012 to May 2013.

This video brings back memories of his daily chattering and chronicling of activities from ISS  and posting them through Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr to be shared across planet earth and inspiring million.

Pretty awesome!
