NEARER TO EACH OTHER THAN THEY ARE TODAY

TWO BILLION YEARS IN THE FUTURE, GALAXIES WILL BE 15 PER CENT FURTHER

A SPACE ODDITY

This is Major Tom to ground control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating in the most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here, am I sitting in my tin can far above the world

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do
