America's first Space Station Skylab

Skylab was the United States' first space station,
and the second space station visited by a human crew.

I'd absolutely love to know what rockets took all these parts up and how it was constructed, because those are not little fit together segments.
IKEA flat packs?

Look it up to find out.

2:01 mark. Is that seaweed or some weird sea creature top right? 

Oh dear... our resident self-styled scientist and researcher is confused by a couple of minor technical points LOL.

And once again, he admits to not knowing how something's achieved—like assembling the space craft—but he expects everybody else to do his homework for him.

It's pretty obvious by now that not one of the 12 books he's purportedly written has anything at all to do with maths or physics. 

100 ton lol

100 ton lol

Ton is a measure of weight. Or is it the large number that's confusing you?

Let's see what this video shows.

0:10 secs. Look at the gold foil fluttering about, in supposed space. What can be causing this? space dust? space air? 


0:30 secs. As they camera comes through the tube, it goes into what I can only describe as a factory sized space. What in the hell is the need for that for? can you seriously imagine what it would take to fill that with air? where are they getting this air from? how did they build this thing, because it's not something you can fit into a rocket, unless it was flat packed. In which case, what amount of rockets were needed  with astronauts and tools to contruct this factory sized piece of absolute laughable junk.

1:00. Look at the gymnast showing us his tricks. Hahahaha. What's all that about? Must be some heating system in those massive factory sized units, eh?
I mean, 500lb Bertha in a ikini can do what this bozo's doing, according to the space geniuses, so what's so special about gymnast man. 

1:44. Listen to the script reading supposed Russian talking.  It's a sort of shit American voice trying to do Russian. Hahahaha.

1:58. Let's not forget the floating seaweed or seaweed creature, top right. 

How gullible do people have to become to not see this pathetic stuff for what it is?

A Saturn V took the whole thing up in one launch.  Skylab was built, in part, from a converted Saturn V third stage and lunar module.

it should never be forgotten, i think, that from the earliest (vonbraun) suggestions of a plan to build a space station it was always referenced as a 'permanent space station'.

pss

being as it was in the time of the contrived cold war, when of course only the supers (powers, heroes) could dream of such endeavors, and cooperation between such diametrically opposed ideologies was unthinkable, the international insert to the acronym was not a consideration.

but then along came rocky 4, red heat, and gorbachev, and everything changed. in came the 'i' of the international, but where is the 'p' for the permanency?

iss should be piss.

blobs of urine, amonia 'leaks', and general tone of the exercise.

so are all the other saturn v third stage segments floating around up there?

or were they, respective to their launch, for a comparable period of time to the one used in this ....... project?

Please clarify.  Are you referring to the third stage units from the Apollo missions or post Apollo missions?  Here are the current locations of all of the S-IVb (Saturn V third stage/Saturn 1b second stage) units.

This particular third stage unit was left over from the Apollo missions.

And your rebuttals just get worse and worse.

0:30. It´s not as big as you claim it is, and it could have been assembled in space. You should do some research on that.

1:00. The point was to show that it´s very easy to do tricks in space. Why is he so slow at that if his not in space?

1:44. It´s not an american trying to make a russian voice, it´s a russian talking english. What would prevent them from getting a russian from recording with them anyways?

1:58. This was filmmed with an analogical camera and it´s kind of common to have what you call seaweed happen to the film. Digital cameras did not exist when this was filmed.

0:10. I don´t really know much about space so i´ll stay away from that one.

This particular third stage unit was left over from the Apollo missions.

for clarity, the rocket (sat v), in order to donate its spent shell to the creation of a space station, would need to finish its journey in an orbit-sustaining altitude.

if one, the skylab utilising one, found itself at such a height at journy's end, would all the others?

for the claimed duration of skylabs existence, from its donor sat v launch to skylabs demise, the other stage 3 components must also have been in a comparable orbit, by my reasoning.

unless the skylab donating sat v stage 3 shell was somehow assisted in achieving an alternate altitude, or path of travel, like extra fuel/engines/rockets - already fitted or waiting in space to join up and achieve said differences to all the other sat v stage 3 shells.............

Actually, the S-IVB unit was an unused Saturn 1B second stage (200 series).  The Saturn V used a slightly different version (500 series) of the S-IVB.

  I'm not sure what you're going on about.  Skylab was built on the ground from previously unused components and launched all at once on a single Saturn V.  Perhaps you're thinking about a "wet workshop" approach that was originally considered, but was eventually abandoned in favor of a "dry workshop".

yeah, that'll be it.

I know a bloke who saw it fall.

I know a bloke who saw it fall.

As did hundreds of other people in Western Australia.  Although the flat earthers claim that all these people were paid off by NASA to keep silent about what they allegedly witnessed.  Apparently, NASA didn't offer them enough LOL.

A phone on one of the empty news desks rang. It was a constable P. Giles of Esperance police, describing the blinding light, and the sonic boom that followed.

Other calls quickly followed. A Telecom engineer, Brett Turner 21, near Esperance, said “We were looking up in the sky when suddenly we saw it. It was right over us. All these lights suddenly appeared and broke up into more smaller lights.

“They were all white and blue and about two and a half minute later a tremendous roar of thunder broke out.”

two descriptions of lights in the sky, and a loud noise.

Uh... you do realise that there were actually more like two hundred reports that night don't you?  Or maybe you don't.  Who's to know?   

the 198 names not known might know.

Lesson for the kiddies, put your shit in the bin.

But if they don't know they know, or they know that they don't know, then they might not know that they do know that they don't know.
