The song "Space Oddity" by David Bowie was written and recorded in 1969, when man was about to leave for the first manned mission in the history of space. The song tells the story of an astronaut who is bored and misses being on Earth with his girlfriend. Bowie later recorded a new version of the song in 1975, with slightly altered lyrics, to match the darker mood of the "Station to Station" album.
