Thanks for the thread, Dave.

I will always remember him via astronaut Chris Hadfields rendition of Space Oddity sung from the International Space Station. Here is an interview and clips

That song had always been haunting to me because the astronaut dies and Bowie somehow captures the solitude, eerieness and fear of dying in space. I remember the first time I heard it I cried and I hadn't even caught the lyrics, the music alone is so haunting. I think he also wrote it as a tribute to the amazing courage it takes to be an astronaut and exploring the unknown.
