How fast is the Andromeda Galaxy moving towards us? What equipment does a space shuttle carry? What's the difference between a space shuttle and a space station? Where did the space shuttle Challenger launch from? How does Skylab differ from the space shuttle?
the most time spent in space by one astronaut -- Sergei Krikalyov -- is just over 803 days. That works out to be just shy of 2.5 years. When you consider most people spend 30 to 35 years in their professional careers, 2.5 years doesn't seem that impressive...
Skylab was never meant to be a permanent home in space, but rather a workshop where the United States could test the effects of long-duration space flights (that is, greater than the two weeks required to go to the moon) on the human body. When the flight of the third crew was finis...

Talking about CA isn't a digression. The moon is a very high contrast subject. If it was as bright as suggested above, I would have thought more CA would be evident. #86Ihtegla Sar Skylab Posts:4,057 Joined:02 Apr 2019 Loc:Pacific Northwest ...
How does Skylab differ from the space shuttle? How does a rocket engine work in space? How can rocket engines propel in space? How did the space shuttle Challenger impact America? What happened to the space shuttle Challenger? What happened to the Discovery space shuttle?
Kennedy Space Center has been NASA’s primary launch center of human spaceflight. Launch operations for the Apollo, Skylab, andSpace Shuttleprograms were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by the Kennedy Space Center. Now, the facility is leased and operated by ...
