In the background is Skylab 2 on the “Milk-Stool” Launch Pad, on pad 39 B. This is the only time that launch Pads 39 A and B had both Saturn I and Saturn V Launch vehicles at the same time. The Saturn V would launch the Skylab Space Station, while the Saturn I would launch the crew. On May 14, 1973, The Skylab Space Station launches from pad 39A, while the Saturn I waits for launch. On May 23rd, the first Skylab crew is launched as Skylab 2. Skylab was in orbit from May, 1973 through July, 1979. Three different crews worked in Skylab, one crew in orbit for about three months, the last crew actually going on “strike”, and pulling a work stoppage due to the work load handed them by NASA. Along with nine humans, were the spiders Anita and Arabella.

The Space Shuttle can be used to launch space probes to the other planets, and to repair objects like the
