Astronaut accidently calls 911 from space

I was disappointed that it was just a misdial. I was looking forward to how IP geolocation worked with 9-1-1 calls from space. I always wondered how that altitude parameter in 911 packets was used. :slight_smile:

Response time would have been slightly longer than the average 7 minutes
too... And probably the single data point would have skewed the average
afterward.
