Talk:Skylab 4
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
hi
Hey! How's it going!
- "The crew reported that the food was good, but slightly bland. The crew would have preferred to use more condiments to enhance the taste of the food. The amount of salt they could use was restricted for medical purposes. The quantity and type of food consumed was rigidly controlled because of their strict diet." Wow, these are some serious highlights! ΛιΘlοгШιlε 02:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Career-killing act?"
- However, it cannot escape notice that although they were all rookies, none of the three astronauts in this crew would ever fly in space again. Whether or not this was the result of their 'mutiny' is somewhat debatable, as there was only the ASTP mission left between Skylab-4 and STS-1. But it cannot be denied that, within the NASA management mind-set at least, their self-imposed day off was undeniably a career-killing act.
According to the Wikipedia biographies of the astronauts, at least two of them had retired long before the shuttle flew, and one eventually stepped down (date not given). This passage seems dubious at best.--Idols of Mud 18:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
