    I actually believe there were SIX space stations before Skylab - most the
Salyut series.  There was a similar thread on this only days ago - with the
suggestion that the ISS should be called Space station zeta or something to
that effect.  Implication being that it is something like the ninth space
station.  IMHO I think NASA and the pushers of that painfully foolish name
"Alpha" (thanks Mike Boschat) should admit that the Russians (and Soviets
before) have been showing up NASA for 30 years on this front.
Yes, I'm also a Mir supporter.
But more on topic: I love watching them all and will go out tonight to
catch Mir for what may be my last chance.
