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.

It doesn't surprise me at all. If it's not about ISS, the space shuttle,
Apollo 11, or Glenn's Mercury flight, NASA seems to forget.

I suppose we can add Apollo 13 to that list as well, because of Tom Hanks.

The Wikipedia online encyclopedia has a complete list of spacewalks and
moonwalks:
