Skylab crew strike

51
years ago

28 December 1973,

In space, the crew of four Skylab space missions went on strike. They wanted to denounce the excessive workload and pressure they were under. They cut communication with NASA and Earth. From the U.S. space station, it went on to look at Earth. Thanks to the strike they managed to adapt the schedule.
