Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, speaks on cell phone shortly after the landing of the Russian Soyuz TMA-07 space capsule about 150 km ( 90 miles) south-east of the Kazakh town of Dzhezkazgan, Tuesday, May 14, 2013. A Soyuz space capsule with a three-man crew returning from a five-month mission to the International Space Station landed safely Tuesday on the steppes of Kazakhstan.

It's being called the first music video made in space.

In an online video, astronaut Chris Hadfield sings the David Bowie song "Space Oddity" while floating around in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station.

The video features shots of a floating guitar that would look like a Hollywood special effect anywhere else. It also shows arresting images of the space station orbiting over Earth.
