"Space Oddity" is a short film exploring the uncanny feelings invoked by nostalgia.
As a child, I was babysat frequently by my youngest uncle, who at the time of my birth was only 14.
For some reason, the only way to cease my fussiness and put me to sleep was to play classic rock for me, and I possessed a particular penchant for David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust period.
As an adult, the thought of a spaceman giving his life for the glory of his nation, foregoing happiness with his family is a haunting thought.
Further haunting is the thought that perhaps there was no malfunction at all - perhaps Ground Control intended to use Major Tom as target practice all along?
