I remember SkyLab. It was SO cool at the time...the first orbiting Space Station.
Those were great years, weren’t they!
They were, and those were just the tail-end of the great years. It puts things into perspective, for example, that the 150 ton Skylab was put into orbit (LEO) in one shot, aboard the last of the Saturn V’s ever launched. The modules for the ISS (what a stupid name) are about 20 tons each, what a joke.
I remember watching Skylab go over a few times, and how enormous the dot was.
