Worked OK for me... Firefox 32.0.3 on a MacBook running Mavericks.
Speaking of Space Oddity, there is a truly mind-blowing video Out There
Somewhere(tm) of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield performing Space Oddity
aboard the ISS.
Think of an acoustic guitar rotating in zero-G. Think of Hadfield slowly
floating towards the ceiling as he sings "And I'm floating in a most
peculiar way". Then make your kids see it, for a practical demonstration
of zero-G.
The original is now gone because he only had permission from Bowie's agent
to keep it up for a year, but there are many lesser-quality copies around.
