But how - with the weight restrictions they have - did he get a guitar up there? And what sort of guitar was it - looks like a Martin, I think.

But how was it packed to survive the g-forces at lift-off and the ride up? I also noted that it had velcro patches stuck all over it, presumably for stowage in null-g conditions.

The "Major Tom" cover was certainly an amazing piece of work. He's not only a good singer but looks as if he knows his way around the guitar as well.

Happy landings, Chris!
