NASA's overlooking US space history -- the Skylab repair EVAs (1973)
NASA's overlooking US space history -- the Skylab repair EVAs (1973)
From NASA Headquarters: ISS On-Orbit Status 2004 December 20 -- All ISS systems continue to function nominally, except those noted previously or below. Underway: Week 9 of Increment 10. Today 27 years ago (1977) the Salyut-6 crew of Yuri Romanenko and Georgi Grechko conducted the first "inspect/repair" EVA in history (and the first Russian spacewalk in nearly nine years), to check out the space station's forward docking port after a failed docking attempt by the Soyuz-25 spacecraft. [JEO: This is a tease, not a complaint -- these reports are very informative and thorough, and a great service to everyone inside and outside NASA who wants to follow the ISS missions. Kudos to the originator(s), and best wishes.] |

It just blows me away that NASA could forget something like that. Conrad and his crew saved Skylab. "Jim Oberg" wrote in message ...

If it's not about ISS, the space shuttle, Apollo 11, or Glenn's Mercury flight, NASA seems to forget. Jeff -- Remove icky phrase from email address to get a valid address. |

I suppose we can add Apollo 13 to that list as well, because of Tom Hanks. Jeff -- Remove icky phrase from email address to get a valid address. |
