Description:
On May 14, 1973, NASA launched Skylab, the first American space station. <br/><br/>Skylab orbited Earth for six years and supported three crewed missions during which astronauts conducted hundreds of science experiments. Skylab was considered a success overall, but it got off to a pretty rocky start. It lifted off on a Saturn V rocket from Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. About a minute into the launch, its micrometeoroid shield accidentally deployed and flew off, and it took out one of the solar panels along the way. Debris from that accident then got stuck in another solar array and jammed it shut, leaving Skylab without any solar power. Thankfully, it still had fuel cells to keep it barely running until astronauts could come to save the day. But to make matters worse, the missing micrometeoroid shield was also designed to be a heat shield, so Skylab was getting dangerously hot. The first crewed Skylab mission arrived 12 days later with a new replacement heat shade, and they were able to fix the jammed solar panel and get the station up and running.

_what-would-earth-be-like-with-no-moon.webp "Earth with no moon—sounds kinda eerie, right? Without that big ol' rock in the sky, our nights would be way darker, like, seriously spooky. Plus, tides would be way less dramatic without the moon's gravitational pull, so no epic beach waves, sorry surfers. But here's the kicker: our tilt would be all wonky without the moon to stabilize it, so say goodbye to those consistent seasons. And don't even get me started on how it'd mess with wildlife and ecosystems—talk about a total game-changer for planet Earth! So yeah, life without the moon? Definitely not your average day in the universe.Animation is created by Bright Side.<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com <br/><br/>Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV <br/><br/>Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz <br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Our Social Media:<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside <br/>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official<br/>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en <br/><br/>Stock materials (photos, footages and other):<br/>https://www.depositphotos.com<br/>https://www.shutterstock.com<br/>https://www.eastnews.ru<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>For more videos and articles visit:<br/>http://www.brightside.me")
