And there’s nothing I can do.

Major Tom has achieved an acceptance that may always be beyond ground “control”. But of course, from their position, they are unable to experience the blueness of planet earth, despite the apparent power under their “control”. 

‘Can you hear me, Major Tom?’ 

More than that, Major Tom listens to you. You’re just not saying anything. Ground control, do you listen, or do you spend your time while you are not speaking, preparing what you will say next? Hmm?

No need to thank me, you are very welcome. Have a good day.
