He wanted to assure the recipient it wasn’t a prank call… just a mistake that could happen to anyone 250 miles from Earth. Peake tweeted an apology on Christmas Day from the International Space Station after calling a wrong number.
The British astronaut said: “Hello, is this planet Earth?” to the bemused listener who thought it was a prank. What if the call was right just the number was wrong! “Just a wrong number”, he tweeted from his space station International Space Station (ISS). Peake, who is a former major in the Army, is the first Briton to join the crew of the ISS and is employed by the European Space Agency.
