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. 410 0$aOutward odyssey. 606 $aManned space flight$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aOuter space$xExploration$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aManned space flight$xHistory 676 $a629.45/4 700 $aHitt$b David$0999763 701 $aGarriott$b Owen K.$f1930-$01039659 701 $aKerwin$b Joe$f1932-$01039660 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454345903321 996 $aHomesteading space$92461990 997 $aUNINA
