I don't know who you are siding with there Farbin, because I know the song Bowie did is called Space Oddity not Major Tom. Major Tom is a different song, just about the same character.

Bowie would later revisit his Major Tom character in the songs "Ashes to Ashes" and "Hallo Spaceboy".

That is the character, there is no song titled Major Tom from that era or Bowie.

Peter Shilling and Shiny Toy Guns have a song by that title however. In 1983.And 2009 respectively.

The Peter Schilling "Major Tom" is the one I am referring to, which Shiny Toy Guns did a recent version of, which is why I made the point that Bowie has not hahaha.

Yep, Bowie started Major Tom, everyone else bit it off him. Sorry to have proved you soooo wrong.

Rofl, what did you prove me wrong with?
Edit: NVM there is no point to argue this, my point is, the song is not Major Tom, it is Space Oddity, I hear the mistake a lot. Major Tom=different song.

Didn't think the Falcon 9 would be successful this quick, but I guess they got all of the kinks out with Falcon 1. It is mentioned as a possible contracted replacement of the Shuttle as far as ISS duty until a NASA spacecraft takes over, when combined with the Dragon.

FYI I am a huge fan of Elon Musk, Tesla, and Space-X.
