: The documents relating to the Countdown and Structural analysis have recently become available on the NTRS and have now been linked to the article proper.Graham1973 (talk) 13:41, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

What should the title be?

"Skylab rescue mission" would seem most logical, after studying sources. Other opinions? Dicklyon (talk) 04:10, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

: I think so to, or perhaps "Possible skylab rescue mission" or "Potential skylab rescue mission". Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:40, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Needs more explanation of why rescue might be necessary

I can see no discussion in this article at all of why rescue might be necessary and what the situations were that NASA was preparing for. I think that's kind of critical to explain. 172.56.108.78 (talk) 01:19, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

:Well, the first sentence says "... in the event of astronauts being stranded aboard the American Skylab space station", i.e. if they couldn't get back in the Apollo capsule they used to get there. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:27, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
