I was just reminiscing by listening to “Space Oddity” with the kids and explained to my 5-year-old son that the song is the ballad of a lone astronaut who faces an unexpected problem in space. His response: “did he know how to grow potatoes?”
I’d forgotten all about telling him an abbreviated version of The Martian as a bedtime story.
Anyway, classic Bowie. Still as relevant as ever!
