SkyLab fell on July 11th 1977... my birthday. I must have talked alot about wanting a piece of it because my mom and dad bought me a SkyLab mission patch!
Did you all see the shuttle launch yesterday? They are continuing the "Teacher in Space" program, beginning with the woman Barbara Morgan who was the backup for Christie McCullogh (sp?) /Challenger in 1986.
Also, the payload is a huge arm for ISS!
Here's my location's viewing link for ISS... but you can navigate and set it to you own coordinates. Seeing it fly overhead is intense!!!!! It's huge!
