For the past 50 years, the story of America's first Space Station, Skylab, has been all but forgotten. Those who remember it, often think it was a failure after it crashed into the desert in Australia. Nothing could be further from the truth. This amazing NASA program changed the way we live on this planet forever by pushing the very definition of what living in space entails. Searching for Skylab is the first-ever made feature film about this forgotten milestone in space history. Featuring restored audio and video footage rarely, if ever seen by the general public and retrieved during nearly 15 years of research into the NASA archives. This outstanding story is narrated in part by the astronauts themselves, the NASA engineers and their families. A historically accurate, 98-minute long documentary that lets you explore the jaw-dropping human achievements in space without leaving your sofa.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
