Inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bowie released this song in 1969 shortly before the Apollo 11 moon landing, a gift to an audience hungry for anything to do with space travel even if this has a somewhat desolate ending.
In high school, we had juke box in the senior end of the cafeteria. I think it was 10 cents for a song, three for a quarter. There were many songs I liked, but Space Oddity was there so I played it every time I could.
