Washington: Hollywood star Tom Cruise got a sneak peek at what it's like to circle Earth in a SpaceX capsule. The actor recently took part in a call with the company's four space tourists orbiting more than 360 miles up.

According To Fox News, representatives for SpaceX’s first privately chartered flight revealed on Friday about Cruise`s call. The conversation, between the actor and the space tourists, like the entire three-day flight, was private and hence no details were released.

"Maverick, you can be our wingman anytime," read the announcement from the flight`s Twitter feed. Cruise has starred as Navy pilot Pete `Maverick` Mitchell in the 1986 film `Top Gun`.
