Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer date somewhere in history
21 June 2026
On June 21, the first summer day in 1969, the late musical virtuoso
DAVID BOWIE recorded his timeless classic Space Oddity at Trident
Studios in London.
It peaked at #5 in the UK and #124 in the US. It was re-released several times.
The song launched the fictional astronaut named Major Tom. He would return later
in other songs ‘Ashes to Ashes’ (1980), ‘Hallo Spaceboy‘ (1995) and ‘Blackstar‘ (2016).
