Michael Aslanian I think it is about an American astronaut on a mission to space. He does a space walk. At some point things go sideways and he is lost to space. And he is aware until he runs out of oxygen and or water, food that he is not coming back to Earth. So many days/weeks he is going to slowly die in space. So then he takes a bunch of heroin he snuck aboard to calm his nerves.

@@jacktilghman9797 Here is what actually happened to one of Bowie's eyes:: In the spring of 1962, Bowie would walk into a confrontation that would change his life forever when his childhood friend, George Underwood, would be the reason why the future musician would end up having two completely different coloured eyes. Underwood, who went to school with Bowie, later revealed that the two had an argument over a girl which resulted in a playground fight. With both Underwood and Bowie liking the same girl, the two had a “short-lived falling out” which turned physical. The fight resulted in Bowie suffering a Heterochromia, a condition which resulted in the right eye turning blue in appearance while a left one remained a darker shade of brown,due to suffering “a deep corneal abrasion and paralysis of the iris muscle.”

Literally a lifelong fan (born in '68), I never had a life event or memory that wasn't framed by his music. This played on the local AM radio as I was with my mother taking me out to McDonald's when she picked me up on my first day of school. As a teen in the 80's I owned a pair of red shoes (because of "Lets Dance). As a mother in my 20's and 30's I introduced my children to him early on. In my 40's I kept Station to Station, Aladdin Sane and The Lodger in my music rotation...and he died the year before I turned 50. I still weep whenever I hear his songs these few years later. If you want to know what happened to Major Tom, he reveals the major's fate in Blackstar. He knew he was dying and he gave closure to that beloved character as a final gift to his fans.
