Space Oddity, de David Bowie, ficcionaliza la historia de Major Tom, un astronauta que corta la comunicación con la Tierra y se pierde en el espacio. Lanzada en 1969, coincidiendo con el interés público en la carrera espacial y el alunizaje, recibió una atención significativa y se convirtió en uno de los mayores éxitos de Bowie.
