In the early 1970s, after the triumph of landing on the Moon, NASA faced a question: what comes next?
The answer was Skylab, America’s first space station. Built from leftover Apollo hardware and launched on the final Saturn V rocket, Skylab became humanity’s first long-term laboratory in space.
Astronauts lived aboard for months, studying the Sun, observing Earth, and learning how the human body adapts to weightlessness.
Its story helped shape every space station that followed.
Learn more about Skylab and its legacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
