That's indeed an issue. The USA actually needs a strong and determined leadership with a clear vision of the future. I don't see that, on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. Currently we are in the middle of a big satire show sadly.

It is the old question: is it "too expensive", or is NASA/the program underfunded? How much is space flight and exploration worth? In my personal opinion and point of view, NASA is chronically underfunded since they had to cancel Apollo 18, 19 and 20. Also, some people use the fact that the...

He even replies to your private email, if you send him one and ask interesting stuff that he loves to explain 👌 He is always enthusiastic when it comes to space flight or physics. Yeah. An increasing number of people don't even consume news anymore, they just click through headlines on their...

Yeah. Even the so-called serious press/media in Germany spreads half-truths (not purposely though; I think the reporters are just no space experts and don't always do proper research before these days). If I consume stuff from media for example, there is at least someone involved that knows...

Yeah. Scientifically it offered more capabilities than Mercury, Gemini and Apollo altogether I think. It gets beaten by the ISS in that department. But Skylab certainly still remains the best place in terms of available space inside a space station. Must have been an awesome sight when you float...

She is facing the same challenges she did before I guess. Neither space, nor a long term stay on the ISS is new to her. She spent over 300 days onboard ISS in 2006/2007 and 2012 combined. Also, Butch and Suni were aware that such a scenario might take place. It's a test flight and Suni was a...

Not a miracle 😅 Although the OWS provided a lot of space, there was also a lot of different equipment/stuff installed. And the arrangement was strange here and there I think. But they did the best to utilize the leftovers of Apollo. I like that grid-design of the floor and ceiling of the crew...

Yeah. I read it in the Skylab operations manual two weeks ago. There were basically three "modes":

The test flight will end less complete than Gagarin's flight, 63 years ago... Actually it will end as failed imho.

"Still, it is shocking to think about." I disagree.

Nice. Every mission is a good one 👍 You have 135 to chose from 😜😅

Are you going to add more missions?

Jesus Christ! o_O :hailprobe:

It was actually more like the color scheme of Skylab and its crew, while the astronauts were curious about the color scheme of Skylab 😅 Anyway, R.I.P. Alan

I never tried. The last Shuttle I used in Orbiter was still SSU. I think the ISS above is a different one than "Better ISS" (I never tried either 😂).

Does the "Better ISS" actually work with SSV?
