British astronaut dials wrong number on call from space
(CNN) – Earth to astronaut Tim Peake: Check the phone number before you dial. Otherwise the person you reach is likely to think you’re some kind of nut case.

Tim Peake who arrived on the ISS on December 15 will be at the space station for six months to conduct scientific experiments. He is Britain’s first publicly funded astronaut and the first Briton to visit the space station, according to USA Today. Peake’s crewmates are NASA’s Scott Kelly and Tim Kopra and Russians Mikhail Kornienko, Yuri Malenchenko and Sergey Volkov.
Earlier this month Peake was waved off by his wife and two sons, Thomas, six, and Oliver, four, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Meanwhile, the ISS could easily have been mistaken for Santa’s sleigh.
Peake was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009.
Major Tim Tweeted his apology to the woman he called from space, yesterday.
Just a mistake that could happen to anyone 250 miles from Earth.
The crew onboard ISS will get a chance to enjoy a spectacular sight of “Christmas lights” of European cities after sunset. Earlier this week, the space traveller was forced to leave a voicemail on his parents’ answering machine when they missed his call.

“So we’ll be able to see a different object flying over the rooftops on Christmas Day.” he added.
