Numbers by Names!

The cancelled missions apollo 18 to 20 are needed for skylab, but they have not numbers. Apollo 21 would not named in the sixties. But the Apollo-Sujus-Test-Project is the 21st (twenty-first) start of the Apollo Commmand module in July 1975.

Not quite sure what you are saying but I'm guessing you're suggesting that the three manned Skylab flights were in fact Apollo 18-20 and ASTP was Apollo 21. This isn't correct. Skylab was a completely different program that just happened to use the same hardware as the Apollo lunar landing program. ASTP is sometimes called Apollo 18, though this is incorrect as during its flight, the callsign used just Apollo. Evil Monkey∴Hello 06:34, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Instead of Roosa i would prohiby Tom Stafford for the Command of the apollo 20 mission, because he was not allowed to land with apollo 10 in may 1969. It would be better you numbered the three skylab missions as apollo 18 through 20 and ASTP as apollo 21, then it is same hardware of the apollo/saturn programm. Maybe the NASA changed the titles of the apollo applications program into the apollo by numbers.
