Skylab Rescue
The Skylab Rescue Mission (also SL-R) was a backup rescue flight as part of a contingency plan for the Skylab space station. It used a modified Command Module that could be launched with a crew of two, and return a crew of five.
Famous quotes containing the word rescue:
“When in the sea-light every early game
Was played with love and, if death’s waters came,
You’d rescue me. How I would take you from,
Now, if I could, its whirling vacuum.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
