## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by J***S on March 16, 2018*

eceived in good shape. Thanks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book
*by M***E on January 4, 2024*

Good book. well conditioned and gives a lot of detail about the space station.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Exhaustive details at the expense of an entertaining read
*by Z***N on July 18, 2012*

As others have stated, this book is more technically written than others about Skylab, especially compared to "Homesteading Space", which was quite breezy and entertaining by comparison. The values in this book are the degree to which the book chronicles every management-level discussion of the space station project, the various reports, analysis and decisions, as well as very thorough coverage of each mission's key events and problems. It also provides more extensive diagrams and photos than Homesteading Space. Perhaps most intriguing was the detailed analysis of the rivalry between Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville and Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, which provides insights into the political processes within NASA. Alas, however, despite its extensive coverage, it reads a bit like a textbook, which is to say, too much detail at the expense of too little charm. As someone who purchased, read and enjoyed Digital Apollo, a book solely about the Apollo guidance computer, I can appreciate the thirst for details of a spaceflight connoiseur. For this reason, "Skylab" will remain a necessary addition to the space buff's library. It seems to have been superbly researched (as are all Praxis books) and exhaustive in its level of detail. For the more personal account of the adventure, Homesteading Space is a better fit.
