You may wonder what untold space gems you'll discover here?
Let me tell you: I poured 10+ years of my life and all my savings into bringing the amazing story of Skylab to you. First, in a book, then as restored NASA documents and finally in a movie.
Why would I do all that? Because this NASA programme is unmatched. Skylab has been captivating me for well over a decade and the discoveries in my research were simply too monumental not to share.
How come? Let me ask you this:
• Did you know that we almost lost NASA itself due to problems at the launch of this space station?
• Did you know that Skylab was the bold first step laying the groundwork for flying humans to Mars?
• Did you know that to this day, Skylab is the largest and heaviest object ever placed in a stable orbit?
• Did you know that thanks to Skylab, we learned more about the Sun than in the entire history of human kind until then?
I could go on and on, even beyond the station’s crash into Australia, which incredibly also counts as a great scientific success.
No, it was not possible to include everything in 98-minutes, but this film is packed with meticulously researched & restored, archival material that lay hidden in the dark for half a century.
You get to see it now for the first time since 1974. Curious to find out more? Join the ranks of those who dream big and hear the stories straight from the legends who crafted a chapter in history so bright that it's igniting again 50 years on.
