Space Oddity (11/16)

Chris Hadfield’s music video on David Bowie’s 1968 classic Space Oddity is the most expensive music video of all time uploaded to YouTube. Chris Hadfield is an astronaut, and his music video cover was recorded onboard the International Space Station. The video shows Hadfield floating through the space station and gazing down at Earth while singing Bowie’s spacefaring lyrics. The total cost of production was at least around $150 million. The exact cost of the video isn’t public knowledge, but experts estimate that the space station must have cost around $150 million. The few hours Hadfield spent in space would also cost NASA millions of dollars.
