"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 Featuring the unpublished in-flight diary of astronaut Alan Bean, the book is replete with the personal recollections and experiences of the Skylab crew and those who worked with them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. 000438192 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438192 61020 $$aSkylab Program. 000438192 650_0 $$aManned space flight$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438192 651_0 $$aOuter space$$xExploration$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438192 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438192 7001_ $$aGarriott, Owen K.,$$d1930- 000438192 7001_ $$aKerwin, Joe,$$d1932- 000438192 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHitt, David.$$tHomesteading space.$$dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2008$$z9780803224346$$w(DLC) 2008017968$$w(OCoLC)221147767 000438192 8520_ $$bacq 000438192 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438192 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=452121$$zOnline Access 000438192 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438192$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438192 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438192 980__ $$aBIB 000438192 982__ $$aEbook 000438192 983__ $$aOnline
