Default What next?

And none of the above might have happened had the Russian Cosmos 954

political pressure, NASA was forced to "do something" about Skylab. If
Cosmos 954 not have happened, the press might have paid little attention
to an uncontrolled Skylab's reentry.

Ah but as I've pointed out here before if the Shuttle had been on-time we'd
have missed out on a Comedy Classic! I suppose now we'll have to give credit
to the Russians for inspiring the national psyche to rise to the occasion?

OTOH now that we have the ISS, perhaps, all in all, an even trade?
