    Was Skylab any better?

    "Skylab's orbit eventually decayed and it disintegrated in the atmosphere on July 11, 1979, scattering debris across the Indian Ocean and Western Australia."

    There's a roughly contemporary book "Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard Mir" by Bryan Burrough that I recall being somewhat controversial when it came out but also very carefully reported. I do recommend it still.

    Is the video episode for this up somewhere? It can be hard to find old PBS shows, even from just a few years ago.

    Amazing that this is still up, and that so many of the links still work. Great find!

    Simple, functional design. Obviously not...quite the intended use of the HTML table elements, but ah well, that era was fun. Tables and image maps and transparent GIFs!
