david bowie wrote "space oddity" with the words "ground control to major tom" years before tom hanks was in any movies.
elton john wrote a song called "rocket man" (and i think it's gonna be a long long time), which was also produced long before tom hanks was on the scene.

It wasn't written by Elton John for anyone. It was written by David Bowie, and long before the movie Apollo 13.

It's not by Elton John, it's by David Bowie and came out about 25 years before that movie. So, the answer is no.
