You got it, the correct answer is B! Released five days before the launch of Apollo 11, David Bowieโ€™s 1969 ode to Major Tom was his first single to chart in Britain. Bowie called Hadfieldโ€™s space station video โ€œpossibly the most poignant version of the song ever created.โ€

You know I donโ€™t ever remember hearing about this before. It was cool to read about Chris Hadfield and watch the u-tube video of him singing and playing his guitar โ€œsitting in a tin can far above the worldโ€. He even played those quirky chords like Bowie did it was good.
