Part III - The Legacy of Skylab
11.10.03
Part I - The History of Skylab | Part II - Life on Skylab
For today's students, Skylab is a part of history that took place long before
they were born. But it is an important part of space exploration; it laid
substantial groundwork for future space ventures. Its potential is just now
being realized with the ISS. "I think most people would recognize Skylab as
the world's first space station, or at least the U.S.'s first space station,"
said Garriott.
Astronauts Carr and Pogue demonstrate weight training in zero-gravity.
Much of the research and technology that makes the ISS possible was still
just theory prior to launch of Skylab. "I think the greatest achievement is
that we pretty much proved that the human body can stay weightless for a very
long time," Carr said. "This was our first opportunity to go up and settle
in." He said that the Skylab crews also helped develop countermeasures to
help astronauts better endure long-duration flights. "I don't see any reason
we couldn't go to Mars without artificial gravity," he said.
When asked about the modern successor to the Skylab program, Garriott said
that he believes the ISS could have a great future. "It's got great
potential, but not with only two people onboard. We're still waiting
expectantly for the potential to be realized." He said that he believes the
ISS could be a very productive scientific facility once the crew size is
increased.
Carr said that he and fellow third-crew astronaut Pogue were actually
involved in the development for 13 years of what became ISS, and were able to
share their experiences during the design planning. "It looks to me like it's
a good system," he said.
The ISS still has a long future, and NASA and its international partners are
working to make sure that ISS does realize its full potential. And, when it
does, it will owe much of that success to another space station, which
orbited the Earth 30 years ago - Skylab.

我非常喜欢在有风有雨的季节计划自己;
有风有雨后的季节晒着阳光我昏昏睡去;
睡去的我依然在甜梦中将曾有过的温习;
温习昨天前天等等的种种激情与过去。
