Exploring space is serious business, but that doesn't mean astronauts are above a cheeky practical joke or two.
The culprit was a well-planned prank that NASA astronaut Owen Garriott came up with two or three months before he embarked on the Skylab 3 mission.
According to Garriott, it took everyone who wasn't in on the prank back by surprise. The team on the ground never figured out what they had done or how they had managed to pull it off. 20 years after the prank, Garriott asked some of the ground controllers who were still with NASA"did you know what happened then"? they replied,"No we never did figure that out."
