The Skylab-4 astronauts' "strike" ended 50 years ago today.

But: "After a thorough review of the available evidence, it is clear that no strike or mutiny took place during the Skylab 4 mission."

So what really happened?

During their first few days on Skylab, @NASA_Astronauts Al Bean, Owen Garriott, and Jack Lousma moved slowly to minimize their vertigo as they adjusted to weightlessness.

In this image taken #OTD in 1973, they have a meal together. #Skylab50

50 years ago, Skylab's prime spider, Arabella, was preparing for launch. From over 3,400 proposals from high school students across the country, the "Web Formation" experiment was one of 25 chosen to fly on Skylab. #Skylab50

#50YearsAgo today, the Skylab 2 crew said goodbye to Skylab and prepared for their return to Earth, taking this photo of the station that had been their home for the last 26 days.

Despite the slow start on the damaged station, they had salvaged the program, managed to accomplish the majority of their science goals, and broke the space endurance record during their stay! #Skylab50
