In 1973, Skylab, the first "space hotel" was launched. In simple but lively language, the book tells the story of Skylab's 251-day stay in orbit, the triumphs and tribulations of its crew, and the space station's eventual demise. The text also explains how Skylab led to today's sophisticated International Space Station. |
