A British eight-year-old girl chatted to an astronaut on the International Space Station using her dad’s amateur radio kit.
Chuffed Isabella Payne spoke to Kjell Lindgren for 45 seconds as he passed over her house.
The spaceman said it was his “favourite” chat he’d ever had.
The schoolgirl, of Broadstairs, Kent, had been asleep when the call came in and her proud dad Matthew had to wake her up.
