'Is this planet Earth?': Astronaut aboard the ISS dials wrong number
"Hello. Is this planet Earth?" That's what British astronaut Tim Peake said after dialing the wrong number — from space.
He wanted to assure the recipient it wasn't a prank call ... just a mistake that could happen to anyone 250 miles from Earth.
I'd like to apologise to the lady I just called by mistake saying 'Hello, is this planet Earth?' - not a prank call...just a wrong number!

Peake arrived at his new home on the International Space Station in early December -- he'll have about five more months to figure out the right number.
