Everyone calls the wrong number, but no one has ever done it from space.
British astronaut Tim Peake apologized on Twitter for dialing the wrong number from the International Space Station on Christmas Day and confusing a lady by asking: "Hello, is that planet Earth?"
"I want to apologize to the lady I just called by mistake. It wasn't a joke, I just dialed the wrong number!" he wrote.
I'd like to apologize to the lady I just called by mistake saying 'Hello, is this planet Earth?' - not a prank call...just a wrong number!

The XNUMX-year-old astronaut and former helicopter pilot did not say who he actually called. Since he is the first Briton to stay on board the MSS, millions of his compatriots have closely followed his mission in space from the very beginning.
Pik also sent his Christmas greetings via Twitter.
