Major Tom is a fictional astronaut referenced in David Bowie's songs Space Oddity, Ashes to Ashes, Hallo Spaceboy (particularly in the remix by the Pet Shop Boys) and possibly Blackstar (in the music video and interpreted from the lyrics).
Most easily summed up as the continuing adventures of Major Tom, the spaceman hero of that first song, Ashes to Ashes was also a very deliberate acknowledgement of the then-burgeoning new romantic scene -- the accompanying video (itself one of the most significant and influential of the age) drew its cast from among the scene's best-known faces.
