Reviews

[Richard Lobinske · Rating 1 out of 5]

The sole source of the insulting Skylab mutiny/strike myth. Not supported by crew, ground controllers, or mission transcripts. No contemporary corroboration. Just an unfair slur against a dedicated crew.

[J. Gaudet · Rating 5 out of 5]

A trial run at what it is going to like in space for long periods of time.

This book is SO GOOD. If you want to get a good idea of what it was really like up there, you need to find this book and read it. Thank you Kris D for loaning to me!
