Obituary | Obituary: David Bowie STARMAN JONES DAVID BOWIE, MUSICIAN, ACTOR AND ICON, DIED ON JANUARY 10TH, AGED 69 IN JULY 1969 men walked on the moon, a technological leap all but
unthinkable 50 years before. Three years later they abandoned it, and have renounced all return ever since. What boosters saw as the great opening act of the space age turned out to be, in
effect, its culmination. Within a few years presidential corruption, economic stagnation, military ignominy and imagined catastrophe had warped post-war America’s previously impervious
belief in progress, a belief that had resonance across the then free world. After Apollo, the future would never again be what it used to be. This article appeared in the Obituary section of
