As far as I know, the song is about an astronaut type person who goes into the space and the song details his ascending to space, what he can see and a problem that goes wrong. I do not think it is actually based on a real event.

Who is major tom in space oddity?

Major Tom is a Fictional Astronaut in David Bowies song(Space Oddity) who travels into space never to be found. Or so we think...In another song by David Bowie,Ashes to Ashes, Major Tom reports to ground control that he is happily floating in space. But then in Peter Schillings Song,Major Tom (coming home), Major Tom attempts to return to Earth.Later in the song Tom says give my wife my love and then when ground control attempts to communicate he does not respond. This was sadly the last song directly affecting MAJOR tom. Except, Granddady released the song "He's Simple,he's Dumb,he's the pilot".It does not mention Major Tom but if the pilot is him then Major tom returns to Earth safely.The next song about Major Tom was released by K.I.A which is about his wife waiting on Earth for his return. No more songs were about anything in Space Oddity, but Elton John's Rocket Man may be a reference to Tom. No more songs have been referencing to Major Tom. So Major's Tom fate is still undetermined, leaving a mystery to be solved.........
