VIDEO: Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s cover of ‘Space Oddity’ is back

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s wonderful rendition of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” is up and running again after a five month pause.

Hadfield wrote about his excitement for the rerelease of the video on his website:

“We are so happy to be able to announce that my on-orbit cover of Space Oddity is back up on YouTube. This time we have a new 2-year agreement, and it is there, for free, for everyone. We’re proud to have helped bring Bowie’s genius from 1969 into space itself in 2013, and now ever-forward.”

Originally posted in May of 2013, the video quickly reached millions of views and even the written approval of David Bowie himself who called the performance “possibly the most poignant version of the song ever created.”

Enjoy the video for now and the next two years!
