The remarkable story of Skylab's crash back to Earth

Interesting to listen to.

Montage of Australian radio and TV reports on the re-entry of Skylab in 1979.


At 20:18  " I'm calling in from Salmon Gums. " "Which is where ? "  :)

Interesting that there are still modern day counterparts. I saw this just this morning - 18 tonnes of Chinese rocket segment on its way down... somewhere tbd on impact!
