One of the most quintessential songs about space travel, no list about interstellar antics would be complete without David Bowie’s song “Space Oddity.”

To this day, we aren’t sure Bowie is actually human–consistently amazing songs, barely aged, and a cool, knowing attitude like he is a man about the universe:

This is Major Tom to Ground Control/I’m stepping through the door/And I’m floating /in a most peculiar way/And the stars look very different today
