I find it so funny how u people just assume what he wrote this song about without even knowing anything. Next time, at least look something up before u put shit like this on the internet to make people think u know something about him.

I've heard this song when I was a little boy in our old tube-radio. Every day. It brings a lot of memories back to me.

Bernie Taupin wrote this as he was listening to the radio on his way to his mothers, they were talking on the radio about Appollo 16 going up and soon somebody would be sent to outerspace to live. In 1972 space travel was still a world fancy. Cheers

He is just reffering to him being over his head in his situation in life and can't wait till he gets back on his feet.

no i believe hes talking about actually be a space man....if u listen to the song, u might see that just because of the reference of being higher than a kite, u might see that hes being litteral...
