Ever got a phone call and someone says, ‘Hello, Is This Planet Earth?’.
It is not Major Peake’s first unsuccessful attempt to speak to someone on earth from the ISS.
Astronauts Tim Kopra and Scott Kelly, from the United States space agency Nasa, went outside the ISS to fix a broken component. Tim Peake will stay until June 5th, 2016 on board ISS, and his mission of 173 days will be the sixth longest space mission undertaken by an ESA astronaut.
It could be seen as a bright light crossing the sky after sunset on Christmas Day, soaring 250 miles over the French-Spanish border.
Peake is a British astronaut who arrived at the International Space Station on December 15.
