Movie Monday returns this week with a 1970’s film from NASA about the Skylab and its operations from the time of its launch, the on-orbit repair and deployment of the solar panels and heat shield, and the three crews who called her home in 1973 and 1974. Just as today, NASA used this movie to justify its space exploration budget, emphasizing the benefits of clean energy and microchip development. Today’s program, Earth View, runs 28 minutes. Enjoy!
A big tip of the hat to Phil for getting MM back on the air
