18/10/2004 - 14:37:02David Bowie's classic hit Space Oddity has been chosen as the first track to be played on the first commercial space trip for tourists.
The 1969 hit has topped a poll to find the ultimate play list for the trips, which are due to start within the next three years.
The songs will be heard on the new three-hour Virgin Galactic flights which will cost nearly $200,000 (€159,694) per person.
Other tracks that made the shuttle's playlist included Oasis All Around The World and Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles.
