The award-winning author of
"Live TV from the Moon" -
Dwight Steven-Boniecki - was surprised to hear the head of the Westinghouse Lunar TV Program, who worked on both Skylab and Apollo, frequently re-directed his talk to the achievements on Skylab. Steven-Boniecki was curious to find out why.
Skylab has rarely been mentioned by known and respected sources and didn't seem interesting enough to be worth looking at... little did he know, he was about to embark on a 10-year journey of research.
Three manned Skylab missions of 28, 59 and 84 days were recorded by NASA on film, video and audio tapes. Multiply the 171 days by 24 and you get over 4000 hours of audio material alone. Imagine now extracting the most interesting snippets and matching them to the relevant film without any reference. It's a gargantuan task for anyone. No wonder you have never seen a movie about Skylab of this calibre.
No wonder, you find relatively little new material or research done on Skylab. "Searching for Skylab" is attempting to change that now by presenting you with 10 years of research in 1.5 entertaining hours.
Packed with exclusive interviews of astronauts, engineers, experts and their families, the film gives you a glimpse into one of the greatest - albeit mostly forgotten - American triumphs in space of all time!
