If that isn't a photoshop then it's pretty amazing timing to see them come together and get a photo of it.

Lyrics
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"

25. One of the coolest things I've ever chanced upon

Apr 2021

I was just getting out of my car on a little Seattle Capitol Hill side street when I heard a BEAUTIFUL tenor voice. A young man came riding by on a bicycle wearing an outfit I can only describe as a combination of Charles Dickens and The Cat in the Hat, singing at the top of his lungs, “Here am I sitting in my tin can, far above the moon...”

Maybe you had to be there but he was ethereal. I’ve never forgotten. Hope wherever he is, I hope he’s still singing.
