Does he really die, or is he going to make it home?

The debate on this one still rages. Is Major Tom alive and just unable to tell anyone, or did he 'Come Home' by choosing to die or accepting his death? Or because he dies in orbit, does his spirit live on through having severed its connection to earthly things? After all, he was aready IN heaven when he died.
You'll have to ask David Bowie or Peter Schilling. No one else knows the answer.
PS: To the rest of you, there are actually several songs about Major Tom or that reference him, starting with Space Oddity and continuing through the most recent, which I think is Mrs. Major Tom by KIA (2002).

Peter Schilling's version is called
Major Tom. (coming home )
It ends with "Earth below us, drifting
falling"
(that's how song ends)
David Bowie's version is entitled Space Oddity.
Song ends with Major Tom on the two-way
with Ground Control.
Major Tom is outside the spaceship and can't
get back inside.
Spaceship returns to Earth and leaves Major
Tom stranded in space.

If you're referring to the David Bowie classic, the name of the song is actually "Space Oddity," and at the end, Major Tom is adrift in space, beyond hope of rescue. He isn't dead, but he will be.
