Astra. Posted December 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2015 That's a cute story.... I bet the pensioner was excited - as it's not everyday that an astronaut rings long distance to say "howdy".. Even so - makes a good story to tell at their local bowls club or tea and scone day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernal Gnu Posted December 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Give him some busy work to keep him away from the ship's critical control systems, like going space walking and scraping all the plankton off the hull, a sort of long overdue "spaceship wash." You don't want him pushing a series of pretty colored buttons just to see what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted December 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I wonder what was the initial reaction of the pensioner lol Depending on the person, heart attack maybe? Maybe a hang-up and cursing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Trinity Posted January 7, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I can imagine the tyrade of expletives he received about the terrible youth of today making disrespectful childish calls before the loud disgruntled sound of a phone slamming onto a receiver. Especially given the humble sounding nature of the apology tweet haha, whoops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
