Can't resist this bit of Timmayism ... our Canadian space program at work.
He's actually very good. :lol:

His voice isn't great, but the show / production is extremely well done.

His voice is pretty good. He's certainly listenable.

Your mistake was that you put yours in the correct thread! :lol:
I didn't have a problem at all with the voice, but you are correct that it is the setting and production that make it memorable.
Ah, it's this guy! I've seen vids of him before doing other cool stuff in space. Coolest Canadian ever. :cool:

Neil Young is slightly cooler. Maybe if this dude lost his Molester.
Debatable that Neil Young is a Canadian. While I agree that he's totally cool, hasn't he lived in California for like 50 years now? IIRC 'Old Man' (his best song) was about the ranch foreman at the place he bought in California. Anyway I would think Young is a US citizen by now. :sleep:
I just watched the whole video. While it was undeniably awesome, this guy altered the lyrics and missed the opportunity to do an EVA and then accidentally untether or expose himself to vacuum or any number of similar things that could have happened to Major Tom. Clearly not a true artist. :mad:

Beats me. I let my subscription to the Neil Young newsletter lapse.
A few weeks ago I saw an interview he taped about his career... don't think I had seen him interviewed before in the near-present. He's an interesting fella. :)

From Time interview in 2005
QuoteI'm a Canadian. I'd like to vote in the U.S. election because I feel like I've got just as much right to vote in them as anybody else. I've lived here for so long, paid taxes for so long and my kids have to register for selective service. I guess I could be a dual citizen, but if I ever had to give up my Canadian citizenship to become American I wouldn't do it, because I wouldn't want to hurt Canada

I should have known better than to think Neil Young would deign to become a US Citizen.
Anyways...Justin Bieber is the coolest Canadian. :ph34r:
Neil Young. Bleech. He looks like walking BO.
I watched it, enjoyed it, thought it was cool. :)
Apparently David Bowie was in contact to say something complimentary.
I guess he, after Freddie Mercury, must be two of the hardest Brits male singers to cover, given how distinctive their voices are. This astronaut, didn't do too bad a job at all.
I don't think it's really about this guy's voice. I think it's more about the fact that someone filmed a music video for Space Oddity in outer fucking space. :contract:

And in the last few minutes, he's just finished 'covering' The Man Who Fell To Earth.

I don't think that's it (given my tastes). I can see somewhat attractive but sexy pushes it.
He's got more of a Walter White in Space thing going on. But without the mean streak.

I'd say that's going to far in the opposite direction. :D

Sexy isn't about looks to me. It's about how a person carries themselves, what they do, and how they act. He's sexy. :)

Heh. I was thinking 'the guy's an astronaut and former fighter pilot who sings and plays the guitar. If he wasn't already married, he's have no trouble getting dates'. :D

Well, of course - those other factors are important. When I bolded it was I was taking issue with the attractive piece. Like I said - I think he's somewhat, which I think anchors him down from a place where I'd say "he's sexy." Obviously different strokes for different folks.
