The crew of the International Space Station received a wake-up call from Paul McCartney on Sunday.
American astronaut Bill McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev were woken by live broadcasts of Good Day Sunshine and English Tea from a concert in Anaheim, California.
"That was simply magnificent," McArthur told McCartney after the performance. "We are just very honoured again that you have joined us. We consider you an explorer just as we are. Your venues of exploration have ranged everywhere from music to fashion and I guess even now you have become an author. We are all targeted toward the same thing, and that is ensuring a bright future for the young people on our planet."
The live broadcast took place after McCartney heard that NASA awoke the crew of STS-114 on board Space Shuttle Discovery with Sunshine during a mission in August.
