    Remembering Skylab, 30 years this week. The future seemed so beautiful those times...

    Skylab was a true marvel. Simply by modifying S-IVB boosters, they could have put a 100 man space station in orbit by the late 1980s. It's now the 00s and we're having trouble getting a space station fit for two people off the ground.
