“For here, am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world. Planet Earth is blue, and there’s nothing I can do… Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles, I’m feeling very still – and I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows…)” – David Bowie (Space Oddity)
