Astronaut Tim Peake Apologizes for Dialing Wrong Number From Space Station
Anyone can dial a wrong number, but it’s not often done from outer space.

Sometimes you’re in the International Space Station and you make a call to Earth but you accidentally get the wrong number. He blasted off to the space station on December 15 with an American and a Russian.
“I’d like to apologise to the lady I just called by mistake”, astronaut Tim Peake wrote on Thursday.
Apparently Peake had opened the call by greeting the person on the other line by saying: “Hello, is this planet Earth?” Helen Sharman became the first British citizen to travel to space when she visited the Soviet Mir orbiting station in 1991.
The 43-year-old didn’t say who he was trying to reach or what carrier he was using.
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 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. Astronauts Tim Kopra and Scott Kelly, from the U.S. space agency Nasa, went outside the ISS to fix a broken component.
