Just think, he's gone from Captain to Full Colonel and missed Major and Lt. Colonel out, and why not!!! Happy Birthday and enjoy the fly past.

As they are 'ranks' it would be nice if they ranged from NCO = no stars, through Brigadier = 1 star all the way to 5 star general and 6 star Field Marshal.... :x))

I think an opportunity has been missed by not just promoting him to Major Tom. After his recent number one I think a couple of duets with David Bowie on Space Oddity and Ashes to Ashes are a natural. Maybe the start of an album?
