Last December, astronaut Chris Hadfield recorded the first song in space aboard the International Space Station, and he’s back today with the first music video from space: a cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” Hadfield is set to return home to Earth in a Soyuz craft on the morning of May 14th, after a prolific mission in space filled with science, singing, and sharing on Twitter. The video features Hadfield moving throughout the ISS with his guitar, with some impressive vocals to boot — between the setting and the sound, it’s a performance that does Bowie justice.
