In retrospect I think we should have gone to the moon instead.

looking at that picture, thats a long way to fall back to earth.

where did it land? anywhere? or did it just incinerate?

Did Skylab fall out of orbit on its own or did they help it, like by firing retrorockets or something?

I think it would have been cool if it had stayed up there as a historical relic. Imagine boarding it fifty or a hundred years later.

John Belushi gave a great presentation regarding the crash of Skylab.

It was like a trailer in the sky, with a tarp.

Thank goodness no space tornado or sharknado came around
