When I told my readers to "stay tuned for...an obituary of a science fiction rock star," I had no idea "The Martian" had a David Bowie song. Here is "Starman" complete with images and clips from the movie.
I found that to be an appropriate tribute to both Bowie and the movie.
For more on David Bowie, science-fiction rock and movie star, I recommend reading two articles from io9, one listing him as one of the great music acts inspired by science fiction and another as a rock star who changed science fiction, showing that the influence went both ways. Other articles in the same vein were published by Extreme Tech, Engadget, Tech Times, Huffington Post, and CBS affiliate WXRT. All of them consider him a giant in both rock music and science fiction, as do I. Farewell, Ziggy Stardust!
