Oops! Astronaut dials wrong number from space
Little did the woman who answered the phone know, the question was literal and “not a prank call…just a wrong number”, Peake wrote.

Astronauts on the Space Station are able to call their families on Earth through video and voice calls when they have free time.
Peake quickly took to Twitter late Thursday to insist that the incident was not a prank call, “just a wrong number!” and that he was trying to connect to his home.
Peake, a 43-year-old former army helicopter pilot, left Earth for ISS last week for the beginning of a 171-day mission. He blasted off to the space station on December 15 with an American and a Russian.
“So we’ll be able to see a different object flying over the rooftops on Christmas Day”.
“It will be the brightest star in the sky, moving rapidly from west to east. You might think it’s a plane to start with, but you’d hear the engine noise of an aircraft that close and of course the space station is silent”.

Peake plans to conduct experiments on how the human body reacts in space and – in a British twist on space exploration – try out a new tea-making process geared toward zero gravity. Kelly is now nine months into his yearlong mission in space. He is Britain’s first publicly funded astronaut and the first Briton to visit the space station, according to USA Today.
