>What was it with skylab?
It was clearly /ourstation/. It's still unmatched for a place you could screw around in zero gee. It won't be until Bigelow gets their shit together that we'll have anything comparable.

I wish I could have met the guy. Being in Texas, I've had the chance to hang out with his kid Richard a few times, but Owen seemed to be a real awesome dude.

Or be a scientist working on something that can involve space. More than a few astronauts, even going back to Apollo, were scientists, and hired as scientists.

But at least people know who they are. I have an old book from the early '80s about space rockets (a BIG hardbound book with lots of pictures), and Skylab 3 got a big picture of the rocket taking off, and literally two paragraphs. "They got motion sickness, the capsule started leaking tetroxide, but they made it home."
Skylab 2 - crew fixed the damn thing
Skylab 4 - crew stayed 3 months
Skylab 3 - yeah they were up there

Didn't we basically rebuild them from scratch every launch anyhow?

Skylab was still the coolest station so far. Until Bigelow gets some inflatables up there, it's the roomiest thing ever in orbit. Pic related was just the end where you entered.
