The Legacy of Skylab; Appendix; BibliographyAs the United States and the Soviet Union went from exploring space to living in it, a space station was conceived as the logical successor to the Apollo moon program. But between conception and execution there was the vastness of space itself, to say nothing of monumental technological challenges. Homesteading Space, by two of Skylab's own astronauts and a NASA journalist, tells the dramatic story of America's first space station from beginning to fiery end.Outward odyssey.Manned space flightHistory20th centuryOuter spaceExplorationUnited StatesHistory20th centuryManned space flightHistory629.45/4Hitt David1465340Garriott Owen K.1930-2019.1503714Kerwin Joe1932-1503715MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782672303321Homesteading space3732291UNINA
