"Major Tom is a fictional astronaut created by David Bowie. He appears in the songs "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes" by Bowie, the song "Major Tom" by Peter Schilling, a French cover of "Major Tom" by Belgian artist Plastic Bertrand, and the song "Mrs. Major Tom" by K.I.A.. Due to some similarities in Elton John's "Rocket Man", some presume this song might also be an allusion to Major Tom. In fact, Bowie made the connection during concerts, calling out during the song, "Oh, Rocket Man!"[1] Bowie's lyrics in Ashes to Ashes reinterpreted Major Tom as an oblique autobiographical symbol for himself, who was addicted to cocaine throughout the 1970s."

He's a fictional astronaut that David Bowie created. Bowie's lyrics in Ashes to Ashes reinterpreted Major Tom as an oblique autobiographical symbol for himself, as he was addicted to cocaine throughout the 1970s.

Likened to Roger Ramjet an old 60s cartoon on television...who took a proton pill (he was a space cadet) to give him the strength of 20 bombs for 20 seconds hehehe
In the song Ground Control Major Tom took a protein pill
