But it is an important part of space exploration; it laid substantial groundwork for future space ventures. Its potential is just now being realized with the ISS. “I think most people would recognize Skylab as the world’s first space station, or at least the U.S.’s first space station,” said Garriott.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/sl4-150-5080\/sl4-150-5080~large.jpg?w=1280&h=1920&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/sl4-150-5080\/sl4-150-5080~large.jpg?w=1280&h=1920&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Astronauts Carr and Pogue in the Orbital Workstation.

Astronaut Gerald D. Carr, mission commander, uses his index finger to suspend astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot, in the Orbital Workshop (OWS). The two “wizards” completed almost three months aboard the Earth-orbiting Skylab space station, plenty of time to grow these full beards. The photograph was taken with a 35mm camera by astronaut Edward G. Gibson, science pilot. <\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Much of the research and technology that makes the ISS possible was still just theory prior to launch of Skylab. “I think the greatest achievement is that we pretty much proved that the human body can stay weightless for a very long time,” Carr said. “This was our first opportunity to go up and settle in.” He said that the Skylab crews also helped develop countermeasures to help astronauts better endure long-duration flights. “I don’t see any reason we couldn’t go to Mars without artificial gravity,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the modern successor to the Skylab program, Garriott said that he believes the ISS could have a great future. “It’s got great potential, but not with only two people onboard. We’re still waiting expectantly for the potential to be realized.” He said that he believes the ISS could be a very productive scientific facility once the crew size is increased.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"On February 8, 1974, Skylab?s final manned mission (Skylab 4) left behind America?s first space station after a stay of 84 d\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg 3887w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=1024,1024 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=1536,1536 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=2048,2048 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=50,50 50w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=100,100 100w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=200,200 200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=400,400 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=600,600 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=900,900 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=1200,1200 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sl4-143-4706_0.jpg?resize=2000,2000 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">On February 8, 1974, Skylab’s final manned mission (Skylab 4) left behind America’s first space station after a stay of 84 days.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Carr said that he and fellow third-crew astronaut Pogue were actually involved in the development for 13 years of what became ISS, and were able to share their experiences during the design planning. “It looks to me like it’s a good system,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISS still has a long future, and NASA and its international partners are working to make sure that ISS does realize its full potential.

Astronaut Gerald D. Carr, mission commander, uses his index finger to suspend astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot, in the Orbital Workshop (OWS). The two \"wizards\" completed almost three months aboard the Earth-orbiting Skylab space station, plenty of time to grow these full beards.
