They say that luck is just opportunity plus preparation. In this case, OP had the opportunity, but was woefully unprepared, and the result was a cartoonishly unlucky experience.
It's not every day that your astronaut friend decides to call you from space. Honestly it sounds as absurd as your cowboy friend calling from 1880. This dude's buddy had the thought to call him from space, and this guy's caller ID presented the incoming call as "Us Gov." Thinking it was something he didn't really want to get involved with, he missed his space call and let it go to voicemail. It's an understandable mistake, but also an absolutely terrific way to screw yourself out of an awesome experience. Space isn't going away soon, so hopefully he picks up if they call again.
This being a particularly weird way to ruin your own day, the internet was ready with jokes about the missed space call.
