after listening to a bunch of music from moonbase alpha I tried to play again and saw nobody was on, so I made a big server and nobody joined. This song was just too fitting. :(
The image is actually really sad. On the right there is the decent stage of a lander but no ascent stage meaning that this astronaut is now stranded on the moon only able to play his guitar until he runs out of air.
I think bowie felt the cosmic truth. Like that feeling astronauts get when they look back down this blue marble. That feeling that most likely none of us will ever truly feel. But bowie's helplessness as major tom even JUST through the lyrics. You feel it even through the moonbase alpha chat speech. He knew without leaving the atmosphere how helpless he really is. Its how we all are on this ball of iron. The planet earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.
Next time I'm having an existential crisis my brain is going to remind me of Kirby's huge vein there, and I'm going to laugh, so I'm just thanking you in advance. Poyo~
I REALLY want to know what you fed to the text-to-speech to get it to say "most peculiar way" @ 2:00 when Bowie himself says it like this weird 'a-pic-you-lee-air way' lmao
I'm surprised I'm just now finding out about this. This seems like a no-brainer for a space simulator, and yet it never pops up in any Moonbase Alpha video!
**Ground Control:** Ground Control to Major Tom! **Major Tom:** This is Madden, John to Ground Control - Commander N. Pony. aieou. John Madden. John Madden. John Madden. John Madden. aieou. Commander N. Pony. **Ground Control:** ...Major Tom what the *fuck*
Stephen Hawking used a CallText 5010, which ran DECTalk, the same speech synthesis program used in Moonbase Alpha and in all the meme videos like this one. Stephen Hawking used a modified version of this voice (called 'Perfect Paul') in particular. For the last few months of his life, it seems as if he had switched to emulating the CallText 5010 using a Raspberry Pi, probably because parts for those old speech synthesizers can be difficult to find.
Rest in peace, John Madden

ETERNAL KING OF THE MOON
In the vast reaches of Space, no one can hear you AIEOU...
In the vacuum of space noone can hear AEIOU scream.

The image is actually really sad. On the right there is the decent stage of a lander but no ascent stage meaning that this astronaut is now stranded on the moon only able to play his guitar until he runs out of air.
Moonbase Alpha songs really hit different.
There's some kind of odd melancholic sound to these robotic text-to-speech voices
This is actually not that bad. It made this amazing Bowie song even more unsettling.
And somehow more sad and deep
Better version tbh
@@GalifreThe one where SAM is Ground Control and David is Tom is the definitive
listening to this in honor of gnome chompski making it into space
godspeed, little gnome
shame that they abandonned the noam chomsky plan

What if they made Ground Control the Moonbase Alpha voice, but kept Major Tom as David Bowie?
YES PLEASE
Agreed
yeah that would be a cool concept, too bad nobody has done it....
yet: th-cam.com/video/lxZjMHgfDQ0/w-d-xo.html
im gonna do it
That would be beautiful.
best vocaloid song in my opinion
John Madden may be gone but he'll never be forgotten.

Lovely, really the perfect song for moonbase alpha
If the astronaut is playing a guitar and we can hear it, does this mean the moon has a atmosphere?
most known planets and moons have atmospheres (including our moon)

Idk why, I might have the brain rot, but I prefer this over the original.
this is my go-to music whenever im doing literally anything

I was genuinely shocked to hear Moonbase copy Bowies weird way of saying it, it made me smile
My battery is low and it’s getting dark..
tell my waif i love her, aeiou
why is this legit the fucking best, like i honestly listen to this more than the og
See you, space cowboy. F.

Now we just need a Madden game that's set on the moon. It's damned well what we would've wanted. Maybe he would too, if he ever cared for the meme.
Whatever happened to moonbase alpha?
This brought back some old memories
It's still around.

It has a different flavour to it, I like it
This Deserves so many more views
Check ignition, and may John's love be with you...
Even though the robot voices are terrible, the lyrics just rip through and turn this joke into something moving. Amazing.
This song right here is playing at my funeral
How does this not have millions of views by now?
it keeps getting taken down, im pretty sure.
Miku make way, the new Vocaloid is Moonbase
This is great love the original also love this
Today I logged on, and the last server was gone
Listened to this together with the original song. Pretty much in sync, except at the end

all jokes aside this cover is pretty clean

A Classic.
Great song
I love these versions from teh game, is there any way you can separate them so i can enjoy them individually
I searched for this, fulfilled

Why do I feel that Stephen Hawking is singing this?
Stephen Hawking used a CallText 5010, which ran DECTalk, the same speech synthesis program used in Moonbase Alpha and in all the meme videos like this one.
