Rocketman
Space traveler's solitude
Rocketman is a nickname for someone associated with rockets or space travel, most famously applied to Elton John after his 1972 song "Rocket Man." The term suggests someone flamboyant, larger than life, or literally connected to aerospace: The Rocketman biopic won several awards.
It gained political notoriety when used as a taunt for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
