Skylab 50 - Interview with Astronaut Jack Lousma

To celebrate the Skylab 50th anniversary here is one our
favourite astronaut chats from 2012 where we caught up with
Skylab 3 and STS-3 astronaut, Jack Lousma. Jack was also capcom
during Apollo 13 and he tells us about taking that ominous
‘Houston, we’ve had a problem’ call and how they solved each
life-threatening issue in sequence to get the astronauts back
alive. He talks about missing out on flying Apollo 20 to the
moon, being a crew member on the Skylab space station and taking
one of the first space shuttles out for a test drive.
