      abstract = {"Homesteading Space, by two of Skylab's own astronauts and  a NASA journalist, tells the dramatic story of America's  first space station from beginning to fiery end."  "Homesteading Space is much more than a story of  technological and scientific success; it is also an  absorbing, sometimes humorous, often inspiring account of  the determined, hardworking individuals who shepherded the  program through a near-disastrous launch, a heroic rescue,  and an exhausting study of Comet Kohoutek, as well as the  lab's ultimate descent into the Indian Ocean. Featuring the  unpublished in-flight diary of astronaut Alan Bean, the  book is replete with the personal recollections and  experiences of the Skylab crew and those who worked with  them in training, during the mission, and in bringing them  safely home."--BOOK JACKET.},
